Sax Rohmer's Published Titles:

Books, Short Stories, Articles, Serialized
Publications & Miscellanea

Last updated:  13 January 2006


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.

Cherry Blossom Time From the musical play "The Nightingale," lyrics by Michael Martin-Harvey & Sax Rohmer ; music by Kennedy Russell. London: Asherberg, Hopwood & Crew, c1947. 1 score ([5] p.) ; 28 cm. For voice and piano. Caption title. Pl. no. : A.H.& C. Ltd. 11942-3. "Lee Ephraim presents 'The Nightingale' "--Cover.

A title listed by his literary agent. It may have been Rohmer's original title.
Musical. Opened 16 July 1947 at The Princess Theater, New York.
Music, Kennedy Russell; lyrics, Michael Martin-Harvey & Sax Rohmer.
This is, at best, a marginal title. "Cay Van Ash re-typed a couple of versions of the script during revisions, and was thoroughly familiar with Rohmer's contributions to the show. When he read a copy of the produced script many years later, he repeated the comments from Master of Villainy that almost nothing of Rohmer's contributions remained in the final version." R. E. Briney (Email, 8/5/98)

The four known titles are "Cherry Blossom Time," "Lavender Dreams," "Let's Be Twenty-One," and "There is a Song My Heart will Always Sing."

The Wrath of Fu Manchu (BOOK: 1973)

"The story 'The Haunting of Low Fennel' underwent a drastic sea-change to become Nightmare House. The plot was revamped, characters and their motivations changed, and the supernatural element greatly enhanced. The rewritten version is in every way an improvement over the original." R. E. Briney (Rohmer Review #9, August, 1972)
