Add to basketCondition: Very Good. Black and white press photograph, promotional device resembling lobby card. 8'' x 10''. In Very Good condition. In Victorian London, Edward Styles is accused of being the notorious Haymarket Strangler, the brutal killer of five women. Twenty years after he is tried and executed for these crimes James Rankin… (Karloff), a novelist and social reformer, launches an investigation to prove that Styles is innocent. His search for clues leads him first to the sleazy Judas Hole music hall, where the Strangler picked his victims from the resident can-can dancers and loose women, and then to the prison cemetery of Newgate where Styles was buried - in order to exhume his body. When the killings start again, Rankin's theory seems to be vindicated. However his growing obsession with the case signals a most unwelcome revelation as to the true identity of the murderer. Member of the P.B.F.A. CINEMA [Front of House Press Photograph].

First Edition. First Printing. Octavo (21cm); dark sage green paper-covered boards, with titling and publisher's logo stamped in black on spine; dustjacket; [8],9-317,[3]pp. Inscribed by Karloff on the front endpaper: "To Don / with every good wish / Boris Karloff / Jan 5/44." Some external wear, shallow chipping to crown, hint…of sunning to spine, with some mild bubbling to paper and lower front cover, offsetting and some mild discoloration to endpapers, and the usual tanning to the text edges; Very Good. Dustjacket is edgeworn, with corresponding tears and creasing to upper spine panel, a few tiny nick and tears, and a small splash mark to upper front flap; Very Good or better. Offered together with a three-page ALS from Karloff to Dr. E.M. Sheare (the publisher of this volume), composed in black pen on three sheets of Arsenic and Old Lace letterhead (measuring ca.8.5" x 11") and dated about five months prior to publication (May 20, 1943); 49 lines (280 words), signed "as ever, Boris." Two old folds from mailing smoothed out, some very subtle toning to extremities, else Fine, together with the original mailing envelope. All housed in a custom quarter-morocco drop-backed clamshell case. Scarce first printing of this cheaply-manufactured wartime anthology of "terror stories," all selected by Karloff, who has written a generous six-page introduction. The contents include contributions by Bram Stoker ("The Judge's House"), Ambrose Bierce ("The Damned Thing"), William Faulkner ("The Hound"), Edgar Allan Poe ("The Tell-Tale Heart"), Algernon Blackwood ("The Willows"), and Oliver Onions ("The Beckoning Fair One"), among others. The letter to his editor is particularly insightful, showing Karloff's strong opinions regarding what merited inclusion: "I am quite firm against Dunsany's "Where the Tides Ebb and Flow." It is beautiful and imaginative and all that but it no in [sic] sense fits our patterns.For reasons of space I think we could omit (I) Dunsany, (II) Woman at Seven Brothers (III) Shipment or Mute Fate or (IV) Breakdown / which is interesting but not terror. Hugh Binson's tale I consider a must, also The Waxwork - I've had three invitations to dinner without points on the telling of that one! I am enclosing the amended list for your consideration. By all means "The Beckoning Fair One" should be in last place in the book, on the score of length and excellence." Uncommon inscribed, with a lengthy contemporary ALS. 8614.
