Book Description

Original pictorial cloth covers with design of a haunted house to front. Red titles to upper board, gilt to spine. Twelve full page plates by Minns. 300pp plus 2pp rear adverts. The book suffered water damage leaving the pages stiff (though they are still bright and unstained). The original covers were carefully prised from the warped boards and laid onto matching new green cloth-covered boards. Some light markings to front cover, long unsightly spine edge stain to rear cover. A phenomenally scarce book featuring twelve highly regarded tales of vintage supernatural horror. The precursor to Algernon Blackwood's 'John Silence' and William Hope Hodgson's 'Carnacki The Ghost Finder'. Six of the tales were later reprinted in a fragile paper-covered book without any of the superb illustrations. A VG unrestored copy sold in London at Sotheby's in 1996 for circa £2500 plus buyer's premium.
