Please be patient. This is a rather large table.
The intent of this cross referenced bibliography is to allow any English title used by Sax Rohmer or his editors to be checked quickly. In addition to the numerous books and short stories Sax Rohmer had published, nearly all of his early novels were first published as serials or short stories and only later published or re-written as books. Many of his stories remain uncollected and have never appeared in book form. Often, however, what appears to be a new "story" is actually a serial publication of a familiar book.
"The Zayat Kiss," for example, is simply the first serial installment of The Insidious Fu Manchu as published in Collier's magazine. "Cinderella's Slipper," however, has apparently been published only once -- in This Week on 27 February 1938.
In addition to the book titles, this list includes the distinct short stories -- those that remained distinct stories when published in collections such as Tales of Chinatown, those published in other collections such as The Spy in the Shadows, those such as "Count D'Ambro's Window" that remain "uncollected" and can only be found in the original magazines and newspapers, those such as "The Ebony Casket" for which no publication data are available and finally, those such as "The Cold Man" that were never published.
Rohmer often rewrote stories, sometimes with minor changes, sometimes with major changes; where known these changes are noted. Magazine publishers also renamed many of his stories and these alternate titles are also included and cross referenced.
The list also includes titles for the serial installments of the novels, stageplays, lyrics, monologues written for performers he knew, and finally, the nonfiction articles he wrote for newspapers and magazines. Any additional information would be greatly appreciated.
Original titles later changed by various editors are listed separately.

| The Mystery of the Locked Room | Mystery - The Illustrated Detective Magazine. "Actually by Commissioner Mulrooney and Sax Rohmer. A challenge to
the author [Rohmer] to give a logical solution to an actual crime." "This has been mis-described in SR bibliographies for years. It
is NOT an article by Rohmer, and is NOT a collaboration with Commissioner Mulrooney.
The actual credited author is Alan Hynd. It is one of a series of true-crime
articles which he wrote for MYSTERY. The article describes an actual "locked
room" murder case from the NYPD files. Commissioner Mulrooney (presumably the NY
Police Commissioner at the time) and Sax Rohmer were asked separately to comment on the
case. Mulrooney suggests a solution, and Rohmer disagrees with him but offers no
solution himself. Mulrooney's and Rohmer's contributions are nothing but
introductory blurbs, not part of the article itself; Rohmer's comments are 4 brief
paragraphs (150 words). Mulrooney does not 'challenge' Rohmer - never even mentions
him, in fact. The whole thing is a curiosity of little substance for those primarily
interested in Rohmer." see Sax Rohmer Disagrees! |

The Story Teller. January 1916 This story appeared three times in three variations. The British Story Teller version was most likely the original story or the closest to Rohmer's original intention. When the story was republished in the U. S. in Red Book, the final eight paragraphs were eliminated, providing a more puritanical ending. Needing Chinese material for Tales of Chinatown, the story was recast as "The Key of the Temple of Heaven." Names and descriptions were changed to give the story a Chinatown background. For example, the "little brown man from the woods above Khatmandu" in India became the "little yellow man from Pekin." In addition, the object central to the plot, the "great, gleaming ruby" known as the "Red Eye of Vishnu," is transformed into a jewel studded "gleaming Key" which was used by the Emperor of China "to open the special entrance" to the Temple of Heaven. |

What Happened at 8.20? |
This was a series of six 45-minute radio plays by various authors, broadcast biweekly by the BBC National Service, 7 October 1938 - 16 December 1938. All of the plays had a musical setting (cabaret, concert >hall, etc.). The program started at 8.00pm, and some startling event -- for example, the discovery of a murder -- occurred precisely at 8.20 . Rohmer's credited contribution was the last in the series, "The Peculiar Case at the Poppy Club," broadcast on 16 December 1938. [This information was reported by Tony Medawar in "Serendip's Detections VIII," CADS 24, November 1994, pp. 21-23.] |

This list was originally prepared in the 1970s and based primarily on two collections: my own and Prof. William MacPherson's. It was placed on the World Wide Web on July 25, 1997. Within months, R. E. Briney joined the effort as Associate Editor, and the list was greatly expanded. Much additional information was also provided by Victor Berch. The list also incorporates bibliographic information from a wide variety of sources such as Bradford Day's "Bibliography of Adventure," Cay Van Ash and Elizabeth Sax Rohmer's "Master of Villainy" (edited by R. E. Briney), and the eighteen issues of the "Rohmer Review" -- particularly the "Bibliographica Rohmeriana." Finally, it continues to grow based on continuing correspondence from our many other contributors.
