It's one jewel is Cirque, the City on the Abyss, into which the River Fundament falls in magnificent cataracts. It is a city of love and harmony, with inspiring religious rites. But in the Abyss there lives the Beast: loathsome to imagine, frightening to confront; for it is formed of the cast off hates of the people of Cirque. A Beast whose body is refuse, whose mind is as black as sin. And now, after centuries, it is climbing out of the Abyss to claim its own. The Cirquians' feeble weapons are no match for the Beast's slimy encroachment on the city. When it breaches the defenses of the Cathedral of the Five Elements and is confronted by Salamander the High Priestess and Gregorian the fire sculptor, the Beast's true nature flowers, to make Cirque forever after the Mecca of the Galaxy:- (original cost $8.95).

"Though he published some fiction in the early 1960s, Carr concentrated on editing. He first worked at Ace Books, establishing the Ace Science Fiction Specials series which published, among other novels, Behold the Man and The Warlord of the Air by Michael Moorcock, The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin and Rite of Passage by Alexei Panshin. After conflicts with Ace head Donald A. Wollheim, he worked as a freelancer. He edited an original story anthology series called Universe, and a popular series of The Best Science Fiction of the Year anthologies that ran from 1972 until his death in 1987. He also edited numerous one-off anthologies over the same time span. He was nominated for the Hugo for Best Editor thirteen times (19731975, 19771979, 19811987) , winning twice (1985 and 1987). His win in 1985 was the first time a freelance editor had won. " (from Wikipedia); Signed by Author.
