New York: Tor Books/Tom Doherty Associates, Inc., 1988. vi, 314pp. Black paper boards, red gilt spine lettering, cream endpapers. Dust jacket price 17.95. SIGNED BY AUTHOR to first blank page. Farris was the 2001 winner of the Bram Stoker Award for Lifetime Achievement. 'One of the giants of contemporary psychological horror.' - Peter Straub. "America's premier novelist of terror." - Stephen King. "John Farris is not only a "writer's writer," but a shape-shifting talent most worthy of your attention. You could call him a suspense writer, a blacksmith of ironclad thrillers. But that would overlook the magical aspect that informs the point of view in most of his work. You could call him a horror novelist, but that's just a launch footing for his mordant sociopolitical observations. He works labyrinthine intrigues better than nearly anyone writing, but to categorize him into a single genre would overlook the fundamental basis of his fiction -- the complex characters that he tinkers together from the ground up, and his efforts to realize each book as an entity whole and apart from the preceding book. One-liner descriptives fall short for the simple reason that he is 'sui generis'. Broadly, you could say that he uses the superstructure of suspense to attack nearly any subject matter. Yet he is comfortable describing some of his books as "thrillers with occult overtones." " - David J. Schow. Collects 2 new stories and reprints an early [1964] Farris novel originally published under the pseudonym Steve Brackeen. "Farris's latest collection consists of a short story, a novelette and a novel. The clever, if predictable, story, "The Odor of Violets," tells of an author who steals another's brilliant unpublished manuscript on the day of its creator's death. The thief publishes the novel under his own name and basks in glory until the dead man's muse cooks up a nasty bit of poetic justice. The novelette, "Horrorshow," is a good deal better, even if the ending isn't totally credible. Concerning the murder of a girl and the discovery of her murderer by a psychic who is himself accused of the crime, it is full of original characters and memorable moments. The novel, The Guardians, is set in the early '60s .' - Publishers Weekly. Book is unblemished condition. No remainder markings.. Signed by Author. First Edition. Hard Cover.
