Hardcover. First edition (& 1st printing). 560 pages. Hugh Lamb's copy with his signature on the half-title page. ADDITIONALLY SIGNED ON THE SAME PAGE BY CONTRIBUTOS MIKE ASHLEY, JACK SULLIVAN, GARY CRAWFORD AND RICHARD DALBY. Includes five annotated checklists of horror fiction: ''The Gothic Romance 1762-1820'' by Frederick S. Frank (422 entries); ''The Residual Gothic Impulse 1824-1873'' by Benjamin Franklin Fisher IV (101 entries); ''Psychological, Antiquarian, and Cosmic Horror 1872-1919'' by Jack Sullivan (260 entries); ''The Modern Masters 1920-1980'' by Gary William Crawford (311 entries); and ''The Horror Pulps 1933-1940'' by Robert Weinberg (15 entries): ''while Tymn's book undeniably has since been supplanted by several more recent works, ironically his material still retains enormous worth and validity as a synthesis of eighteenth-, nineteenth-, and early twentieth-century horror and Gothic literature, and should be retained by both libraries and scholars for that purpose. Many of the books covered in the earlier sections by Tymn are analyzed in no other source''. A VG+ copy as issued without dustjacket. Seller Inventory # 36891
