He lived in a world of constant fear, helplessness and unceasing terror. His life was a nightmare of loneliness and chaos. Spirits of darkness caused him anguish day and night. Who could free him? When would it all end? Why and how did it all begin? All these questions have been answered in the book. This story is a fact, not fiction. It may be frightening for some readers, but for those who are in a similar situation, it's worth reading because there is a way out and help available.

The first Lord Horror novel was pronounced obscene by a magistrate in Manchester in August 1991, the first novel since Last Exit to Brooklyn (1968) to be banned in an English court. "Lord Horror makes most horror fiction look tame and safe. Awesomely grotesque, unstoppably imaginative, hideously funny, it's a truly dangerous book" (Ramsey Campbell). The number of copies printed of this addition to the Lord Horror series is unknown but definitely small, perhaps fewer than 20 copies of this grand hoax, a masterpiece of appropriation art: it is a reimagining of The Truth About Wilson by W.S.K. Webb (pseud. of Gilbert Lawford Dalton), originally published in 1962. Britton has retained the entire text, merely replacing all references to Wilson ("The Wonder Athlete") with the name Lord Horror. The original captions to all of the book's illustrations have been rewritten, and Britton has contributed new illustrations, revamped some of the originals as well as the dust jacket design. Very Fine in like dust jacket. Scarce, signed or otherwise.
