by CHAPPELL, Fred
New York: Harcourt, Brace & World, 1968. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. First edition. Fine in a very good plus dustwrapper with a little rubbing and a short tear at the foot. Inscribed by the author to an American poet: "For - Best wisher to one of The Poets - Fred & Sue Chappell." The inscription is entirely in Fred Chappell's hand. "A Southern Gothic with cosmic overtones that shows equal influence of Faulkner and Lovecraft." - Barron. *Fantasy and Horror* 6-86. A nicer copy than usual of this disturbing book, the author's third and least common novel, and very seldom found signed.
