THE NAMELESS THING

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original brown cloth, with white titles to the spine and upper board, alongside an illustration in black. Without dustwrapper. Illustrated frontispiece, with three black and white plates by Arthur William Brown. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm, with minor rubbing and bumping to the spine ends and corners and a touch of fading to the spine. The contents, with light toning to all edges of the closed text block, are otherwise clean throughout and free from inscriptions or stamps. Scarce in first edition.

A locked room mystery with suspicions of the supernatural, told through interlinking short stories. The author's fourth book which was never published in the UK. (Hubin; Bleiler).
