"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an unpublished REH fragment, which came with a synopsis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.

The Prestige books are known to exist
in at least two states. Some have "DISTRIBUTED BY ACE BOOKS" on the cover
with Prestige Books listed as the publisher on the title page. Some have
"ACE" on the cover and are stamped with "Prestige" on the copyright page.

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.
