One of 460 numbered copies. First volume in Midnight House's effort to bring the novels of Hansom back into print. Originally published in the UK in 1937, this has become one of the scarcest novels of supernatural horror by an author who virtually disappeared after publishing 7 novels from 1934-1939. With an introduction by John Pelan.
A long forgotten supernatural whodunit. A passable novel. The most interesting part was editor John Pelan's introduction, in which he discusses the attendant mysteries and his research into the book's author Mark Hansom. Midnight House is one of the most underrated publishing houses - they produced some very fine books back in the day, but no one has heard about them.
