The novel Skull-Face is comprised of four novellas which combined make up the entire saga of Skull-Face (those being Skull-Face, Lord of the Dead, Names in the Black Book and Taverel Manor). To my knowledge the last time they were printed as a collection was by Berkley in 1978. Strangely enough, the reason why Skull-Face was included in the Chaosium Chthulhu fiction was that Skull-Face's actual name was Kathulos and was "judged to have been dead not thousands but millions of years". Unlike today's writing environment where copyright and intellectual property are king, Lovecraft, Howard, C.A. Smith, et al, encouraged the use of certain concepts that they may have individually created and wanted to see it grow by the hands of others. Sort of an OGL from the late '20's and ''30's. In any case, good pulpy prose!Sorry for the slight derailment of the topic of this thread.Best, Henry LopezPresidentPCI<a href="http://www.paradigmconcepts.com" target="_blank">www.paradigmconcepts.com</a></blockquote>
