London, U.K.: Strange Attractor Press, 2015. 17 scholars and writers contribute well-researched articles on important aspects of Sax Rohmer's writings and the attitudes that they display, with notable contributions by Robert Irwin, Gary Lachman, and Lawrence Knapp, among others. *Briney, Robert E.

Nevins]] (ed), ''The Mystery Writer's Art'', London: Tom Stacey, 1971, as an appendix to "Sax Rohmer: An Informal Survey" by Briney. A slightly altered version of the checklist appears in ''Master of Villainy'' β see Van Ash and Rohmer below. *Colombo, John Robert. "Sax Rohmer and His Yellow Shadows", ''The Tamarack Review'' journal (Autumn 1960), No. 17, pp. 43β57. This essay discusses the man and his accomplishment the year following his death. *Colombo, John Robert. ''A Sax Rohmer Miscellany''. Toronto, Colombo & Company, 2014. This 166-page monograph collects and presents unusual biographical and critical information about Rohmer and his literary creations. Included is a hitherto unpublished letter from Rohmer to Colombo. *Coombs, Alistair. "Sinister Shades in Yellow" ''Starfire'' Vol. II, No. 3, 2008. Essay discusses occult influences in themes from Rohmer's novels with bearing on Theosophy, Kenneth Grant and H.P. Lovecraft. *Day, Bradford M. ''Sax Rohmer: A Bibliography'' Denver, NY: Science Fiction and Fantasy Publications, 1963. Includes information on book editions and magazine appeararances. Reprinted by Bradford M. Day, ''Bibliography of Adventure'' Denver, NY: Science Fiction and Fantasy Publications, 1964 (the reprint is slightly revised, but is not updated beyond 1963). Both versions have some inaccuracies, but are useful for the listings on Rohmer's magazine appearances. *Enright, D.J. "Introduction" to ''The Mystery of Dr. Fu Manchu''. London: Everyman, 1985. Overview of the Fu Manchu work. *Frayling, Christopher. ''The Yellow Peril: Dr. Fu Manchu & The Rise of Chinaphobia''. New York: Thames & Hudson, 2014. This is a highly readable, extremely well-informed, and very comprehensive study of Orientalism with special reference to Sax Rohmer's contribution, with 60 illustrations, more than half of them in color. *Huang, Yunte. ''Charlie Chan: The Untold Story of the Honorable Detective and His Rendezvous with American History.'' New York: W.W. Norton & Company, 2010. Chapter 15 ("Fu Manchu"), pp. 136β44, considers the Yellow Peril.

''Serial Fu Manchu: The Chinese Supervillain and the Spread of Yellow Peril Ideology''. Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 2014. In this academic study, the author considers the "yellow peril imagination" alongside the "Fu Manchu narratives" with respect to their "seriality" (including the depiction of stock figures rather than credible characters) and demonstrates that the fictional story is far from being fully told. *Scapperotti, Dan. "Memories of Fu Manchu". ''Starlog'' (Jan. 1987), pp. 60β64. Article about [[Henry Brandon (actor)|Henry Brandon]], the actor who played Fu Manchu in the Republic Pictures serial ''[[Drums of Fu Manchu]]''. *Scott, David.

''Master of Villainy: A Biography of Sax Rohmer'', Bowling Green, Ohio: Bowling Green State University Popular Press, 1972. The only full-length biography. Originally intended as a collaboration by Rohmer and his wife, the book draws on a series of articles titled "Pipe Dreams" written by Rohmer as early as 1918, as well as anecdotes and memories of Rohmer's wife. Robert E. Briney annotated the text. Includes Robert E. Briney, "Chronological Bibliography of the Books of Sax Rohmer" (see pp. 299β305), which supersedes that of Day in ''Bibliography of Adventure'' (1970)
