The 1975 Doubleday collection The Early Long may be considered as crucially supplemental to the Arkham House volume, since while it comprises only seventeen of the twenty-one stories in the Arkham House book, it adds "an excellent introduction and head notes" written by Long.[2] (The 1978 paperback edition of The Early Long was retitled The Hounds of Tindalos.[3])
"Second Night Out" was originally published as "The Black Dead Thing". "Golden Child" was originally published as "The Sculp", under the byline Leslie Northern.[4]
Receptionedit
E. F. Bleiler wrote that "While the earlier material is now interesting mostly for nostalgic reasons, the stories written in Long's maturer period, the late 1930s on, are noteworthy for the concrete, tangible, yet highly moving horrors that permeate them.[2]
