First edition. The book is firmly bound in dark blue cloth lettered in slightly tarnished gilt to the spine, the extremities are slightly bumped and rubbed. The dust jacket is the original and not price clipped, it is slightly rubbed and grubby with minor nicks to the edges. The second of two novels written under this pseudonym by the incredibly prolific Mr Ross, this one cashing in on the modern Gothic romance boom of the 1960s. Even at a rough skim read the words: "macabre", "sinister", "eerie" and "ghostly" proliferate, and the jacket artist has caught the Gothic mood well. Quite a rarity.
