The story of a man-eating orchid surmised by some to be the basis for the 1960 film of THE LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS. Small 4to gilt-stamped brown cloth; top edge gilt; publisher's notice tipped to title page stating the "Furnival" books are now published by Joiner & Steele but retain the William Jackson imprint so as to be "typographically uniform."
