Another Seven Strange Stories

Descripción

Stapled Chapbook. Near Fine/No Jacket. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. The second of this series of horrror stories, all of which are scarce now. Brad Day's 3-volume encyclopedia lists three others, but not this one (it falls between SEVEN STRANGE STORIES and SEVEN MORE STRANGE STORIES): he does acknowledge that "there are understood to be a number more in the series". He estimates the publication of both of those as having happened ca. 1948. Stories in this volume are Bierce's "The Man and the Snake", Irving's "The Spectre Bridegroom", le Fanu's "Squire Toby's Will", Crawford's "The Upper Berth", Poe's "The Black Cat", Howthorne's "Mrs. Bullfrog", and Blackwood's "Running Wolf". The pages of this copy are browning around the edges, and the cover has a rubbed spot on the back cover; the upper corners are slightly bumped. All in all, a nice copy of a very scarce bit of Scottish fantasy publishing history. N° de ref. del artículo 000596
