Beschreibung
First UK Edition. Publisher's purple boards with lilac lettering to the spine. Text block foxed else VG in a D/W that has some shallow loss to the spine ends loss and and with several, minor, closed tears which have been neatly repaired on the verso with filmoplast. is torn along and in the centre of spine. Looks better than it sounds and distinctly uncommon. At the time of cataloguing there appear to be no copies listed elsewhere and even reading copies are scarce. N.B: Christopher Fowler's regular contributions to The Independent on the subject of forgotten authors (and recently collected in book format as The Book Of Forgotten Authors) includes this book as one of his picks. In 2011 writing for the Independent Christopher Fowler wrote that "if the plots seem far-fetched, her ability to turn up the tension is unquestionable". A masterly novel that stretches the nerves to the cutting edge of fear. Allegedly some supernatural content. Author also wrote under the name of K.G. Ballard which must have confused readers of J.G. Ballard! She is, however, better known as the American crime writer, Holly Roth. Great cover artwork by Broon Lynne. Note : this UK first edition is considerably rarer than its US counterpart published by Harcourt Brace in 1959. Photographs/scans available upon request. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 355490719810
