Octavo, cloth with printed paper label affixed to front cover. First edition. Number 13 of 15 hardbound copies signed by Webb. This copy is inscribed to David G. Hartwell by Henry Wessells, the publisher. "Webb is at his best at short story length, and has published sf, fantasy, and horror in all the major sf magazines (save ANALOG), in many notable anthologies, and in a variety of smaller magazines and journals (more than 400 stories to date). One of his most celebrated stories is 'Jesse Revenged' (December 1986 ASIMOV's), which entangles two sets of brothers: the outlaws Frank and Jesse James, and the Bostonians William and Henry James. As Henry James stalks Robert Ford, who has been hiding under the pseudonym Aubrey Sorrentino, something more than postmodern play unfolds. 'The Yellow Flower' and related stories, in WHEN THEY CAME (2006), trace the dire effects of a mysterious self-help book; the invasion of griffins in the title story of the collection asserts, as does much of Webb's work, that the world is not as we might think." - SFE (online). A fine copy without dust jacket as issued. (#157369). Seller Inventory # 157369
