Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. First Edition. Paperback. Orgy of the Dead (1966) is a cult erotic horror novel written by Ed Wood, Jr., serving as the tie-in novelization to the 1965 "nudie cutie" film he scripted. It follows a couple who wander into a graveyard, becoming prisoners forced to watch dancing ghosts… and ghouls, with an introduction by Forrest J Ackerman. It was an adaptation of his own screenplay for Steve Apostolof's Orgy of the Dead (1965). This was perhaps the only full-length book to arise from Eddie's brief and largely unsuccessful association with Forrest J. Ackerman, founder of Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine. It was Ackerman who sold the book to Earl Kemp, editorial director at a San Diego publisher called Greenleaf Classics. The paperback has since become quite a collector's item, partially thanks to the painted cover art by artist Robert Bonfils (1922-2018). Unfortunately, to further illustrate the book, Ed Wood pilfered some photographs from Steve Apostolof's personal collection of stills. This contributed to the rift between Ed and Steve that persisted until the two reunited in 1972 for a new series of films. Scarce in this condition. Light toning, else near fine. Color pictorial wrappers. 12mo. 158pp. Illus. (b/w).

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. THE FANSCIENT #1 through #13/14 (the final issue). A complete set. All issues in Fine or nearly so. Published from 1947 through 1951. Complete sets are hard to put together and it took me several years to assemble this one (issue #2 was the hardest to find). THE FANSCIENT was a clas…sic Science Fiction fanzine. Not only were there contributions by such notables as Forrest J Ackerman and Darrell Richardson, but there were also author profiles written by the authors themselves including: Ray Bradbury, Robert Bloch, A.E. van Vogt, Robert Heinlein, Murray Leinster, L. Sprague de Camp, Edward E. Smith, Jack Williamson, Theordore Sturgeon and Anthony Boucher. Forry Ackerman wrote about his visit to the set of DESTINATION MOON. Darrell Richardson wrote about Edgar Rice Burroughs and J. Allen St. John. Neil R. Jones wrote an outline of his future history stories, and much more along these lines. Issues had very few ads and much artwork, including some in full color. Issues were printed on good paper. Issue #1 and #2 are mimeo (undimmed, quite readable) and the rest are offset. All issues in nice shape with no excessive aging or stains. Issues #1 and #2 are 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, and 24 pages each. Issues #3 on are 4 1/4 x 5 1/4 and 32 pages each except for #9 which is 64 pages and the final issue, #13/14 which is 64 pages. The complete set comes out to 464 pages. Photos on request.
