Updated 8/4/98

Note: This is a list of original story titles by Sax Rohmer that were changed before publication. All of the stories listed were published, but not under the original titles. Unused original titles are in the left-hand column and the corresponding published titles are in the right-hand column. In the left-hand column a designation such as ( ** 1944/45) means that the story was first offered in Great Britain by Rohmer's agents, A. P. Watt & Sons, in the indicated year(s) but did not sell at that time. Usually the U.S. sale was by Rohmer himself. In most cases, it is not known whether Rohmer chose a published title or it was assigned by an editor.
