Serial Publication
Red Harvest was originally serialized in four parts in Black Mask:
- Part 1: "The Cleansing of Poisonville" in Black Mask, November 1927
- Part 2: "Crime Wanted - Male or Female" in Black Mask, December 1927
- Part 3: "Dynamite" in Black Mask, January 1928
- Part 4: "The 19th Murder" in Black Mask, February 1928
Since each installment needs a beginning, middle and end, the Op closes a murder in each part while working on the overarching problem of cleaning up Poisonville.

Famous quotes containing the words serial and/or publication:
“And the serial continues:
Pain, expiation, delight, more pain,
A frieze that lengthens continually, in the lucky way
Friezes do, and no plot is produced,
Nothing you could hang an identifying question on.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“An action is the perfection and publication of thought. A right action seems to fill the eye, and to be related to all nature.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
