THE PEOPLE OF THE BLACK CIRCLE - The Story Thus Far ...

Featuring CONAN

The October and November 1934 installments of "The People of the Black Circle" in WEIRD TALES were headed by a short recap of the preceding chapters.


THE PEOPLE OF THE BLACK COAST

PEOPLE OF THE DARK

Two drafts exist for this story.
Draft 1 is incomplete and only consists of pages 9-14.  
These pages roughly correspond to the pages in Draft 2 starting on page 9 and running to page 16.
Draft 2 is complete and 20 pages long.
It appears that Draft 2 is not the typescript that REH sent to STRANGE TALES, but may be close to it.
It is not presently known where in the story creation these two drafts fit in - whether there were drafts before Draft 1, in-between Draft 1 and Draft 2,
and how many came after Draft 2 before the final version was published.

PEOPLE OF THE SERPENT

Alternate Title: FANGS OF GOLD

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."

Alternate Title: MANILA MANSLAUGHTER

PLAYING JOURNALIST
by "Patrick Ervin"

Alternate Title: A NEW GAME FOR COSTIGAN
Alternate Title: A NEW GAME FOR DORGAN

Featuring DENNIS DORGAN

The original typescript lists the author as "Patrick Ervin", a pseudonym REH used in connection with his Dennis Dorgan stories. 
Otis Adelbert Kline and later agents retained the original typescript (titled “A New Game for Dorgan”), and it was eventually donated to Cross Plains Library.
In OAK’s logs the title is originally "A New Game for Costigan", then "Costigan" is struck out and "Dorgan" is written above it, along with "Patrick Ervin".
The unpublished manuscript by Patrick Ervin was found after Howard's death and retitled "Playing Journalist."

Cross Plains Library has one original draft of this story and a retyped draft by the Otis Adelbert Kline Agency.

PLAYING SANTA CLAUS

Alternate Title: A TWO-FISTED SANTA CLAUS

Featuring DENNIS DORGAN

Cross Plains Library has one original draft of this story and a retyped draft by the Otis Adelbert Kline Agency.

POLITICS AT BLUE LIZARD

Alternate Title: THE CONQUERIN' HERO OF THE HUMBOLTS
Alternate Title: POLITICS AT LONESOME LIZARD

The original title of "The Conquerin' Hero of the Humbolts" is "Politics at Blue Lizard."
However, Howard undoubtedly meant "Politics at Lonesome Lizard" which is the name of the town in the story. (Glenn Lord - THE LAST CELT)

POLITICS AT LONESOME LIZARD

Alternate Title: THE CONQUERIN' HERO OF THE HUMBOLTS
Alternate Title: POLITICS AT BLUE LIZARD

The original title of "The Conquerin' Hero of the Humbolts" is "Politics at Blue Lizard."
However, Howard undoubtedly meant "Politics at Lonesome Lizard" which is the name of the town in the story. (Glenn Lord - THE LAST CELT)

POST OAKS AND SAND ROUGHS


POST OAKS AND SAND ROUGHS , Early Draft



 THE POST OF THE SAPPY SKIPPER

Alternate title: THE POST OF THE SAPPY SLIPPER

From a letter to Tevis Clyde Smith, April 6, 1925 ("Salaam, sahib: / What ho! I have never …").
As this is a parody of Sax Rohmer's "The Quest for the Sacred Slipper," the title was likely a typo, and should have been "The Post of the Sappy Slipper."

A POWER AMONG THE ISLANDS

Featuring EL BORAK & THE SONORA KID

THE POWER OF THE HUMAN EYE

Alternate Title: BILL SMALLEY AND THE POWER OF THE HUMAN EYE
 

PROEM
Alternate Title: ETCHINGS IN IVORY

The first in a collection of prose poems that REH typed all together.

When first published, Glenn Lord used the title of the first work ("Etchings in Ivory") as the title for the collection.
The first poem was given the title "Proem" in that publication and some subsequent publications. 

The six prose poems are: "Etchings in Ivory," "Flaming Marble," "Skulls and Orchids,"
"Medallions in The Moon," "The Gods That Men Forget," and "Bloodstones and Ebony."
