About This Item
Tight, square, uncreased spine has some sunning. Clean, unmarked interior. Some light edge-wear, but no other notable wear. Cover design by Neil Stuart. This movie tie-in's cover features a cross-hatched and pointilized take on an image from the Jerzy Skolimowski–directed film adaptation of the collection's title story, complete with a clever colorized affiliation between Alan Bates's cataclysmic mouth and Penguin's iconic fiction-coded orange. Graves, however, questions the publisher's categorization in his intro, writing, 'Most of [these stories] . . . are true . . . I fetched back the main elements of The Shout from a cricket-match at Littlemore Asylum, Oxford.' Skolimowski's adaptation features Tim Curry as Graves at that unnerving cricket match, where he is told the story of a young married couple (Susannah York and John Hurt, who plays a church organist/experimental composer) living in a claustrophobic North Devon town, and the noxious relationship they form with a mysterious stranger who is well versed in the dark arts. 300 pp.
