Philadelphia: Chamberlin Press, 1954. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Fine first edition copy of Matheson's first published story collection. The book is fine, square, tight, and unmarked with minor age toning. The jacket has not been price clipped, shows some rubbing to the front and back, and has a tiny hole to the fold between spine and back cover, about 1/4 of the way from the top. Otherwise, this is a lovely copy of an early work by the noted horror and sf author.
