FANGS OF GOLD

Alternate Title: PEOPLE OF THE SERPENT

Featuring STEVE HARRISON

The February 1934 issue of  STRANGE DETECTIVE STORIES carried two stories by REH: "The Tomb's Secret" and "Fangs of Gold."
It appears that the story titles were inadvertently switched.
Howard's agent, Otis Adelbert Kline, kept a list of titles and the magazines that purchased them.
Above "The Teeth of Doom" on Kline's list, someone added "The Tomb's Secret."
Above "The People of the Serpent" on Kline's list, someone added "Fangs of Gold."

All of the chapters of A Gent From Bear Creek that appeared in THE SUMMIT COUNTY JOURNAL were altered to spell Breck's name "Breckenridge" rather
than "Breckinridge," to make it conform to the name of the town (Breckenridge, Colorado) where the Journal was published.
