Notes
- George Rozen's Lamont Cranston portrait closely resembles his original painting used for Shadow Magazine #165. It is repainted here, but with minor changes. Rozen repainted yet another version for the Shadow Magazine Annual #1.
- "The Voodoo Master" is edited down by over 2,500 words. There is no mention of Dr. Rodil Mocquino's lucky talisman, his swastika. The original story was first published prior to WWII, before the swastika was associated as a Nazi symbol.
- Sanctum Books reprinted "The Voodoo Master" in The Shadow Double-Novel Reprint #3 and in their The Shadow 80th-Anniversary 4-Pack Commemorative Collection.
- "Hidden Death" was reprinted in paperback form as Bantam Books #6.
- "The Gray Ghost" was reprinted as a simplified comic book plot in Shadow Comics #18.
- Sanctum Books also reprinted "The Gray Ghost" in The Shadow Double-Novel Reprint #25.
