About This Item
London: William Heinemann, 1894. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine. Full blue calf by Riviere; spine attractively gilt; red labels, marbled endpapers. 237 pages. Advertisements dated August 1895. Original publisher's cloth bound in at the end. "Stevenson's last novel, a grim study of shady characters in the South Seas (written with his stepson Lloyd Osbourne), is full of memorable ghastly characters: the horror is so thick in places that as one critic aptly described it, 'one does not so much read the last few chapters as feel them crawling up one's spine.'" - Sullivan (ed), The Penguin Encyclopedia of Horror and the Supernatural, p. 403. Beinecke 605. A few small scuffs, but an excellent copy.
