"Hangover House was originally conceived as a stage-play titled "The Body's Upstairs" which was written by Sax Rohmer and his wife, Elizabeth. Cay Van Ash recalls: "Negotiations for production were begun and seemed to be going well. But the threat of war [WWII] already hung heavy on the air" (Master of Villainy 252). The plot was reworked as a Bimb? Shi Bar? K short story and published as "Serpent Wind" in Collier's on November 7, 1942. It was rewritten yet again as a serial and ran as Hangover House in Collier's from February 19 to March 19, 1949, the last of 208 issues containing Sax Rohmer's work." (Hangover House, website). Illustrated by Vernon Grant (illustrator).
