First edition. Limited to 2000 numbered copies of which 1900 were offered for sale by subscription only. The sequel to FANTAZIUS MALLARE: A MYSTERIOUS OATH (1922), "set in a phantasmagoric private universe in which fragments of Mallare's shattered psyche appear as characters awaiting the arrival of the god Synthemus, whose advent proves to be not quite what they had anticipated.
