About This Item
San Francisco, CA: Underwood-Miller, 1982. 1st Edition. Cloth. Fine/Fine. 8vo., 253pp. Beautiful Stated First Edition of this collection of essays about King's work by some of the then most popular writers of horror fiction. Claimed to be, and likely is, the first piece of Literary Criticism on King, written in the midst of the his phenomenal success with only six novels published at that time, (the last being Firestarter), and just before the release of Cujo and Dark Tower Bound in quarter black cloth over red paper-covered boards with titles in gilt on front board and spine. There were 5000 copies printed of this Trade Edition and another 225 copies of this Signed. Edition though they all appear to be unnumbered with no limitation page. This is an unsigned Trade copy. Square, tight and clean throughout with little or no wear. Equally attractive unclipped dust-jacket, ($13.95), is fresh and bright with no creasing, chipping, toning or tears. It appears that the jackets for both editions are identical. A gorgeous collectable copy,
