Adventures of Rex Pender, a wounded veteran of the Great War who has inherited, and returned from Italy to grandfather's house in the small seaside town of Ballycastle, Co. Antrim, N. Ireland "The titular character, Rex Pender, was based, in his rather dreamy manner, upon Reid's friend Walter de la Mare. ... Pender is researching his family history and becomes absorbed in old portraits and letters. This brings him into contact with an ancient tragedy, and as he looks into this, and pieces together the story, he finds it exerting a disturbing influence upon him ... it has subtle, observant qualities that make it a worthwhile contribution to the difficult art of full-length supernatural fiction" (Mark Valentine) Irish poet Richard Weber's copy, with his ink signature on front flyleaf.
