by DERLETH, August
New York: The Candlelight Press, 1969. First Edition. Octavo; rust-colored paper-covered boards and white cloth backstrip, with titles stamped in dark red on spine; dustjacket; 67,[5]pp. Fine in a very Near Fine dustjacket, unclipped, with a tiny sticker shadow at lower rear panel. "Though strictly speaking this novella is not part of the Sac Prairie Saga, its inclusion here can be justified on two grounds: first, it refuses to fit anywhere else, and second, its hero, author Avrel Millerand, appears to be a thinly disguised portrait of Derleth himself" (WILSON 547).
