Influence

Kline’s first published fiction was the two-part serial The Thing of a Thousand Shapes in Weird Tales (March–April 1923), beginning in the same first issue as Ooze. The Phantom Wolfhound (June 1923) opens the Dr. Dorp series. The Library holds those 1923 magazine texts; a fuller Kline bibliography belongs later.
