Synopsis
Rolf Rudolph Deutsch is going die. But when Deutsch, a wealthy magazine and newpaper publisher, starts thinking seriously about his impending death, he offers to pay a physicist and two mediums, one physical and one mental, $100,000 each to establish the facts of life after death.
Dr. Lionel Barrett, the physicist, accompanied by the mediums, travel to the Belasco House in Maine, which has been abandoned and sealed since 1949 after a decade of drug addiction, alcoholism, and debauchery. For one night, Barrett and his colleagues investigate the Belasco House and learn exactly why the townfolks refer to it as the Hell House.

From the Publisher
"Hell House is the scariest haunted house novel ever written. It looms over the rest the way the mountains loom over the foothills." --Stephen King

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First Edition/First Printing with no mention of subsequent printings. A near fine book in a near fine dust jacket. This volume is clean and bright with a tight binding, bright spine lettering, and clean white pages; the book does show some light rubbing to the boards and a few faint soiled spots to the text block; housed in a crisp, clean, and bright dust jacket that shows some mild rubbing and light chipping to the spine ends and an inconspicuous dampstain to the lower front panel (visible on the verso). Not remaindered, not price clipped (6.50 price intact), not ex-lib. This is a classic story by one of the masters of 20th century horror fiction which is very difficult to find in fine condition, particularly signed; a must for the Matheson fan or the horror collector!
