NINE HORRORS: And A Dream
by Joseph Payne Brennan New York: Ballantine Books, [circa 1962]. First paperback edition, first printing. Originally published in hardcover in 1958 by Arkham House. A collection of nine supreme dark fantasy stories, that garnered a secure place in the HORROR: 100 Best Books publication, added to the legendary reputation of Arkham House, and earned a cover blurb from Ballantine: 'Nightmares brought to life'. Scarce in the first printing, in such crisp condition. Upper rear spine edge corner slightly bumped, minuscule rubs to the cover shelf-edges, borders of inside covers tanning as usual, else nearly fine, square, bright, tight and probably unread in stiff-card wraps with evocatively surreal cover art by Richard Powers; original printed .35c price and code 587 still intact to the front cover and to the spine. Mass-market paperback; 121 pages; 1 page of ads to the rear. PLEASE VIEW FOR MORE GREAT PAPERBACK COLLECTIBLE BOOKS THANKS! |
