Illustrated Wraps. Condition: Very Good. First Printing, Thus, August, 1974. Minimal shelf handling; The bindings are tight and square. Text clean, age-toning is the only flaw to note. Appears unread; no spine crease. 7 inches tall; 208 pages. The original Arkham 1952 hardback contained 15 stories while this issue is abridged to 8. Contributors are Grendon, Dunsany, Wellman, LeFanu (Derleth), Harris, Bloch, Blackwood, Lovecraft. The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, a novella by H. P. Lovecraft penned in early 1927, remained unpublished during the author's lifetime. Set in Lovecraft's hometown of Providence, Rhode Island, it first saw a partial release in the May and July 1941 issues of Weird Tales, with its complete version published later by Arkham House. The story, set in 1928, follows Charles Dexter Ward's descent into obsession with his ancestor, Joseph Curwen, an alleged wizard of dubious repute. Ward, bearing a striking physical resemblance to Curwen, delves into Qabalistic and alchemical arts in an attempt to replicate his ancestor's arcane achievements. Ultimately, Ward employs this forbidden knowledge to resurrect Curwen himself. As Ward's activities grow increasingly disturbing, his doctor, investigates, uncovering horrors beyond comprehension.
