About This Item

London: William Rider & Son Ltd., 1912. First edition. Light foxing throughout, spine a bit leaned and dulled, repaired small tear to cloth at head of spine, a very good or somewhat better copy of a scarce book and one of Hume's most imaginative novels (24993). Octavo, pp. [i-viii] ix [x] xi [xii] 1-403 [404: printer's imprint] + sixteen-page undated publisher's catalogue inserted at rear, four inserted plates with illustrations by Phillys Vere Campbell, original decorated red cloth, front and spine panels stamped in gold. "Occult thriller by prolific mystery writer; young lovers caught in conflict between black and white magicians, also Atlantean memories, reincarnation, metempsychosis, prophecies. A potpourri of supernatural themes to keep the pot boiling, and the plot moving briskly. Unencumbered by the occult jargon that clogs other Rider weirds in this period." - Robert Knowlton. Barron (ed) Horror Literature 3-98. Bleiler, The Guide to Supernatural Fiction 875. Locke, A Spectrum of Fantasy, p. 119. Bleiler (1978), p. 105. Reginald 07603.
