THE SEED OF EVIL

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original black cloth with titles in gilt to the spine, in the John Harris illustrated dustwrapper. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm, with light bumping to the spine edges, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents are clean throughout, and without inscriptions or stamps, the text block is a little toned (due to the poor quality paper used in production). Complete with the lightly rubbed and nicked dustwrapper that is without fading, loss or tears. Not price-clipped (£5.95 net to the lower front flap).

The author's second collection of short fiction, comprising thirteen stories written between 1962 and 1979, several of which are original to this volume.
