Description:
London : Ward & Downey, 1890. [Second edition]. "Most modern novels are more remarkable for their crime than for their culture, and Mr. G. Manville Fenn's last venture is no exception to the general rule ... turbid, terrifying, and thrilling. It contains, besides many 'moving accidents by flood and field', an elopement, an abduction, a bigamous marriage, an attempted assasination, a duel, a suicide, and a murder. The murder, we must acknowledge, is a masterpiece ... he posesses a rare art - the art of telling a story well" (from Oscar Wilde's anonymous review in the Pall Mall Gazette, 16th September 1896). First published in three volumes in 1886, the original edition is a notorious rarity. Foolscap 8vo (171 x 108mm). iv,418pp. Rebound in a later French quarter morocco, marbled sides and endpapers, sprinkled edges, with the label of the Papeterie Laugt of Pau; some rubbing and wear; mild spotting, mainly of edges, but a good copy of a difficult title.

Description:
London : Gaywood Press, [1950]. First edition. Finn was a prize-winning short story writer before being tempted by the pulp publishers Gaywood to produce some sex-and-space science fiction potboilers for their new series. The present tale sees the world decimated by the "Sickness", a mutant new race of supermen, etc., and (perhaps against the odds) is a thoroughly competent example of the British sci-fi of the period. Finn is also remembered for his football books and his childhood autobiography "Grief Forgotten : The Tale of an East End Jewish Boyhood". Crown 8vo (18cm). 123,[v]pp. Original pictorial stapled wrappers in a lurid design by Leroi; a little worn and creased, with some slight nicking to spine, but a good copy of a scarce and fragile production. Stamp of Goodwins Librarie's [sic] Exchange of Lincoln on half-title. Just two copies located in major UK libraries.
