Beschreibung

Munich: Edition Phantasia Munich, 1987. First German Edition. 554 pp. Translated from the English by Joachim Körber. Illustrations by Herbert Brandmeier. Original blue silk boards, lettered in silver, silver-coated endpapers, all edges stained blue, blue page-marker ribbon, publisher's marbled slipcase. No. 211 of 300 hand-numbered copies. First German Edition. Signed by Clive Barker and Herbert Brandmeier on the limitation page. Text in German. Barker's acclaimed first novel, a horrific and disturbing tale of modern-day mercenary souls dealing with a perhaps immortal demon who can raise the dead, here in the beautifully silk bound and very limited (300 copies) fist German edition. Roughly based on Shakespeare's The Tempest, Spiel des Verderbens (The Damnation Game) is a depressing but impressing read, laying out as it does Barker's literary superiority to other horror genre names - like Stephen King, who cast Barker as "The Future of the Horror Genre" . Gorgeous specimen for the collector of fine bindings, as well. L68. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 000418
