The covers of the various printings change
slightly every so often in the series.
|
"The Bloodstained God" was
originally a Kirby O'Donnell story titled "The Curse of the Crimson
God." It was re-written by de Camp into a Conan
story.
|
"The Snout in the Dark" was
an unpublished REH fragment, which came with a synopsis
for the remainder of the story.
L. Sprague de Camp completed the story,
but was not happy with the result, and gave it to Lin Carter
to revise.

There were numerous printings of this
book by Lancer, Prestige, and Ace, perhaps 20 or more printings total.
The Conan series continued up to the late 1980's and is the
basis for numerous licensed as well as bootleg non-English editions. The
Conan series is by far the most reproduced REH series in the world. It is
quite possible that over one million copies of this book are in print.
