Miller, Webb Rockefeller. Such Things As Dreams Are Made Of. Chicago: C. J, Lawrence Publishers, 1903. First edition. Octavo, pp. [1-8] 9-163 [164: blank]. Original pictorial green cloth, front panel stamped in black and gold, spine panel in black. Illustrated with numerous line drawings (by the author) in the text. A fair copy only of this rare book. #1469. $45. Smith M-816. An amateurishly written short novel about two friends who settle into an apparently haunted house. This is eventually rationalized -- but in an unusual manner that preserves some of the uncanny atmosphere of the tale. The "ghosts" turn out to be a mother and daughter: the former is insane and believes herself to be a ghost; the dutiful daughter is beautiful and waiting for the happy ending, which comes in due course. The men have a black servant, George Washington Johnson, who (theoretically) provides comic relief with his inordinate fear of "haunts." The illustrations are sometimes charming, and generally show more verve than the writing. Crackpot American Gothic. Probably a vanity publication. Smith lists only this title for the publisher.…

Descripción de la tienda

When I began my bookselling business in 1996 I called it "Eldritch Books" because that adjective at least partly covered the type of material I offered (and because its similarity to my own surname seemed so -- eldritch). "Ghost stories" would be another handy, if somewhat reductive, term. Most of it is fiction from the 19th and early 20th century with a strong emphasis on the fantastic. Since the most familiar and relevant genre terms in use today -- "science fiction," "fantasy," "supernatural," "horror" -- were not so much in use when these books were first published, pegging them that way can be anachronistic. But that should give you the general idea. I don't have much in the way of American pulp (either in magazine or specialty press book form) but otherwise my interests range widely from high-brow to middle-brow to low-brow to amateur/eccentric. You're more likely to find rare and obscure works here than high spots. (Or at least they're obscure now, whatever their status was when first published.) In 2001 I went to work for L. W. Currey as cataloguer and general assistant. Since 2014 I've been back working on my own. I have exhibited at convention fairs (such as WFC and Readercon) in the past. I began collecting and studying antiquarian fantasy around 1980. Some of my essays have appeared in genre publications such as NYRSF, Wormwood and F&SF. I tend to carefully research my inventory and write extensive notes. (If another dealer wishes to make use of any of these notes, I'd appreciate the courtesy of putting such excerpts in quotes and giving proper attribution to me. That's what I do when I quote from any of my reference works.) I will be gradually listing my inventory on ABE over the coming years. I hope you find something of interest. …
