About this Item

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original yapped, oatmeal buckram, double ruled in red and with titles in black to the upper board and spine. Illustrated with a tissue guarded frontispiece and three further full page plates by James McBryde. A very good or better copy, the binding firm, the spine touch rolled and somewhat toned. The contents with some toning to the paperstock and spotting to the endpapers, are otherwise clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. An attractive example. The author's first collection of Ghost Stories, the first two of which were previously published in magazine form. A cornerstone of Supernatural fiction. The first printing was issued with and without a publisher's catalogue at the rear, the present example is without. No precedence has been established. [Bleiler; Reginald 07817].
