The conspiracy theory that society is controlled by shape-shifting lizard people dates back to the 1929 story "The Shadow Kingdom" by Robert E. Howard. Since then, the theory has led to several murders, suicides, bombings, and other crimes. This talk will discuss the secret history of this strange idea and interpret its appeal.
