About This Item
Random House. New York.1994. Quarter-bound in black with black boards and green lettering to spine. Signed by author on tipped in page. Autographed Copy sticker on front of a fine later printing in near fine unclipped ($25.00) jacket now protected with removable mylar cover. Jacket has the wrap-around movie promo and has three crease lines on inside front flap, else fine. You know the story about the murder in Mercer House but did you know it is a work of non-fiction despite fiction-like events such as Minerva's voodoo spells in Bonaventure Cemetery, Luther Driggers's powerful poison in a bottle and editorial assistance from the Lady Chablis. "Midnight" is the hoodoo notion for the time between good magic (11:30pm) and the time for evil magic (12:30pm). The author's first book, it was a NY Times best seller for 216 weeks and the basis for the movie starring Kevin Spacey and John Cusack. 9.5x6.75. 388pg.

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is a sublime and seductive reading experience. Brilliantly conceived and masterfully written, this enormously engaging portrait of a most beguiling Southern city has become a modern classic.
