Hardback. Zustand: Fair. 'Horrific, grisly and truly frightening . . . a masterpiece of terror.' - Washington Star 'One of the more terrifying, deliciously scary thrillers.' - New York Magazine 'This is a beastly business that will make your flesh creep. A magnificently malignant horror story to which you will be unavoidably committed.' - Kirkus Reviews 'You'll wish you never started reading the damn thing in the first place but you'll keep reading till the bitter end . . . it is low-key and deadpan . . . a compelling tour de force.' - Chattanooga Times 'Malevolent Gothic whimsy . . . the rat ride is entertaining.' - The Atlantic When his nagging mother discovers a rat infestation, the anonymous writer of these notebooks sets out to drown the pests, but finds himself unable to go through with it. Instead, he befriends the rats, learning to train and communicate with them. Before long he has the idea of using the rats for revenge against a world in which he has been a failure. His target is his hateful boss, Mr. Jones, who treats him with supreme disrespect and plans to fire him and replace him with someone less expensive. The narrator records his plans in chilling detail as his campaign for vengeance progresses from vandalism to robbery to the most horrific of murders . . . The basis for the 1971 film Willard and its 2003 remake, Stephen Gilbert's bestseller Ratman's Notebooks (1968) returns to print in this edition, the first in 40 years. This edition features a new introduction by Kim Newman, who argues that the success of Ratman's Notebooks demonstrated the viability of horror as a mainstream literary genre and paved the way for the horror publishing boom of the 1970s and the early novels of Stephen King and James Herbert.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition, Limited Edition. EXCEPTIONALLY SCARCE SIGNED! ONE OF ONLY 500 MADE. SUNTUP PRESS FIRST EDITION, first printing thus. Book is brand new and unread. Personally hand signed by the illustrator directly to specially bound publisher's signature page. NOT inscribed to anyone. NOT a bookplate. The basis for the 1971 film Willard and its 2003 remake, Stephen Gilbert's bestselling novel Ratman's Notebooks was hailed by The Washington Star as "a horrific, grisly and truly frightening masterpiece of terror." This is the first limited edition of the novel. Presented through a series of journal entries, Ratman's Notebooks follows an unnamed narrator?a reclusive misfit who finds himself alienated from the world around him. Working a thankless job at a company once owned by his late father and living under the thumb of a domineering mother, he drifts through life unnoticed and unloved. When his mother demands he exterminate a rat infestation, he sets out to do just that, but cannot bring himself to follow through. Instead, he begins to bond with the rats, earning their trust, training them, and ultimately forming a secret society of intelligent companions. As his connection to the human world continues to fray, his relationship with the rats deepens and he begins to see them as agents of vengeance. What begins as a quiet rebellion escalates into a chilling plan for revenge, as the narrator sets out to reclaim power in a world that has made him feel powerless. Published in 1968, Ratman's Notebooks became an immediate bestseller and was praised for its quiet horror and psychological intensity. New York Magazine called it "one of the more terrifying, deliciously scary thrillers," while Kirkus Reviews described it as "a magnificently malignant horror story to which you will be unavoidably committed." The Chattanooga Times hailed it as "a compelling tour de force," and The Atlantic praised its "malevolent Gothic whimsy." In his introduction, Kim Newman credits the novel's success with helping legitimize horror as a mainstream literary genre, paving the way for the boom of the 1970s and the rise of authors like Stephen King and James Herbert. A quietly terrifying portrait of alienation, obsession and the dark places loneliness can lead, Ratman's Notebooks remains as eerie and chilling as the day it was first published.
