About This Item
New York, NY: E.P. Dutton & Company, 1922. American Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. Gilt stamped red cloth, 12mo (7-1/8 inches tall), pp. 274, jacket unclipped and unpriced w. all four flap edges having publishers decorative trim, copyright page w. "Copyright, 1922" and no other printings stated. DJ flaps have ads for "Happy Rascals" by Howard and "Linda Lee Incorporated" by Vance - both of which were also published in 1922, so likely a first American edition, although not stated. DJ a little dusty with finger soil, some faint red smudges to back panel, miniscule chips to front flap fold edges, else fine. "Here is an unusual tale. It starts quietly enough in a modern London society background and gradually draws the reader into an atmosphere of suspense and threatened horror. We become acquainted with the strange doings of a secret cult which practices a terrible mediaeval ritual in a lonely chapel by the sea, and breathlessly follow the action up to a startling and unlocked for dénouement." From the front panel.
