First edition, first printing. Signed by the author. Original pictorial upper board and red cloth lower board with a textured black cloth spine lettered in gilt. Generously illustrated throughout in black and white by the author. A very near fine copy, the binding square and tight, the corners very slightly rubbed. The contents are clean throughout and without previous owners' stamps or inscriptions. Scarce.
Issued in a limited edition of 300 copies, this example is numbered 250 and is signed by Reggie Oliver in black ink on the limitation page. A luxuriously produced and sizeable collection of Oliver's ghost stories, supernatural fiction and essays, including the entirety of his first three books, printed alongside the author's own illustrations, many of which appear here for the first time.
