PHANTOMS

London: W.H. Allen, 1983. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First UK Edition, first printing. Inscribed by Dean Koontz on the half-title: "To Gary Elswick, This is one of my three favorite books of my own stuff. It even scared me while I was working on it - but then I'll never be the type to charge a machine gun emplacement and win a medal of honor! Best, Dean R. Koontz". Purportedly a version of the now-debunked urban legend involving a village mysteriously vanishing at Angikuni Lake, this novel served as the basis for a widely panned 1998 film adaptation starring Peter O'Toole, Rose McGowan, Liev Schreiber, and Ben Affleck. Octavo. Original black cloth binding, with silver titles. A fine, unread copy in a fine dust jacket. (Inventory #: 72428)
