About this Item

First edition, first printing. [vi], 168, 16 pp. Bound in publisher's dark cloth with stamped in white, spine lettered in gilt. Good, binding soiled and worn, stained at bottom corners. Offsetting to endsheets, former owner bookplate to front paste down, inner hinges slightly exposed. Horizontal tear to pp. 87/88 with no loss. An enduringly-popular cosmic horror novella and precursor to weird fiction inspired by the author's upbringing in the Welsh countryside near the Roman ruins at Caerwent. Viewed as degenerate literature it was condemned as decadent and immoral for its frank depictions of sexuality. It would inspire Bram Stoker's Dracula, Lovecraft's The Dunwich Horror, and works by Clark Ashton Smith and Stephen King. Increasingly uncommon.
