 The work's original title, "Under the Pyramids", is known only from the lost and found advertisement that he placed in "The Providence Journal".The tale was printed in the May–June–July 1924 edition of "Weird Tales" as "Imprisoned with the Pharaohs" and without credit to Lovecraft in the byline, as Henneberger thought that this would confuse the readers, as the narrative was told entirely from Houdini's first-person perspective.Lovecraft would later receive credit in the editor's note of the 1939 reprint.
