Description
New York: Everest House, 1981 First edition, limited to 250 copies signed and numbered by King, this being number 88. Publisher's black cloth, with facsimile signature in gilt to front board, red leather label to spine lettered in gilt, red topstain, and red endpapers; in its original red publisher's case. A tiny bit of staining to top edge of text block, else fine book; near fine publisher's slipcase, with some scuffing to bootom edge and a couple of very light marks to one side. In its original glassine wrapper, without any chips or tears. Overall, a nearly pristine copy, with an early King signature. In Danse Macabre, Stephen King writes about the history of the horror genre, and gives his opinions on notable horror novels, radio shows, and TV shows. He dedicates the book to six "great writers of the macabre" who were still alive when he wrote the book: Robert Bloch, Jorge Luis Borges, Ray Bradbury, Frank Belknap Long, Donald Wandrei, and Manly Wade Wellman. A New York Times reviewer writes that the book's self-indulgent tone could be overlooked "since the flood of [King's] prose is swept along by so much warm affection for a sort of writing that, outside a narrow circle, is often underappreciated." . Signed by Author. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Dust Jacket Included.
