TALES OF TERROR - INSCRIBED WITH A 3-PAGE ALS TO HIS PUBLISHER

19438614Cleveland and New York: The World Publishing Company / Tower Books 1943. First Edition. First Printing. Octavo 21cm; dark sage green paper-covered boards with titling and publisher's logo stamped in black on spine; dustjacket; 89-3173pp. Inscribed by Karloff on the front endpaper: "To Don / with every good wish / Boris Karloff / Jan 5/44." Some external wear shallow chipping to crown hint of sunning to spine with some mild bubbling to paper and lower front cover offsetting and some mild discoloration to endpapers and the usual tanning to the text edges; Very Good. Dustjacket is edgeworn with corresponding tears and creasing to upper spine panel a few tiny nick and tears and a small splash mark to upper front flap; Very Good or better. Offered together with a three-page ALS from Karloff to Dr. E.M. Sheare the publisher of this volume composed in black pen on three sheets of Arsenic and Old Lace letterhead measuring ca.8.5" x 11" and dated about five months prior to publication May 20 1943; 49 lines 280 words signed "as ever Boris." Two old folds from mailing smoothed out some very subtle toning to extremities else Fine together with the original mailing envelope. All housed in a custom quarter-morocco drop-backed clamshell case. Scarce first printing of this cheaply-manufactured wartime anthology of "terror stories" all selected by Karloff who has written a generous six-page introduction. The contents include contributions by Bram Stoker "The Judge's House" Ambrose Bierce "The Damned Thing" William Faulkner "The Hound" Edgar Allan Poe "The Tell-Tale Heart" Algernon Blackwood "The Willows" and Oliver Onions "The Beckoning Fair One" among others. The letter to his editor is particularly insightful showing Karloff's strong opinions regarding what merited inclusion: "I am quite firm against Dunsany's "Where the Tides Ebb and Flow." It is beautiful and imaginative and all that but it no in sic sense fits our patterns.For reasons of space I think we could omit I Dunsany II Woman at Seven Brothers III Shipment or Mute Fate or IV Breakdown / which is interesting but not terror. Hugh Binson's tale I consider a must also The Waxwork - I've had three invitations to dinner without points on the telling of that one! I am enclosing the amended list for your consideration. By all means "The Beckoning Fair One" should be in last place in the book on the score of length and excellence." Uncommon inscribed with a lengthy contemporary ALS. 8614.

TALES OF MYSTERY & IMAGINATION

1935ST19567-050London: George G. Harrap & Co 1935. No. 36 OF 460 COPIES SIGNED BY THE ILLUSTRATOR 450 of which were for sale. 272 x 197 mm. 10 5/8 x 7 3/4". 317 1 pp. Publisher's special binding of gilt-decorated vellum over boards top edge gilt other edges untrimmed and about one-third UNOPENED. In the original somewhat scuffed and worn blue paperboard slipcase with paper title label to spine. Half title and title vignettes in gold 11 illustrations in the text and 29 plates 12 in color and mounted by Arthur Rackham. Latimore & Haskell pp. 72-73; Houfe p. 424; Hudson p. 172. ◆One corner rather bumped otherwise A LOVELY COPY--clean fresh and bright internally in a binding remarkably free of the soiling and splaying that usually affects vellum books like this one. While Rackham did illustrations for a great many books Houfe observes that he concentrated "particularly on those of a mystical magic or legendary background" a fact that makes his work on Poe's "Tales of Mystery and Imagination" a good fit. Arthur Rackham 1867-1939 studied art at Lambeth School where the work of his fellow student Charles Ricketts influenced his development. As Houfe says soon after Rackham joined the staff of "The Westminster Budget" in 1892 he began concentrating "on the illustration of books and . . . very soon established himself as one of the foremost Edwardian illustrators being triumphant in the early 1900s when color printing first enabled him to use subtle tints and muted tones to represent age and timelessness. Rackham's imaginative eye saw all forms with the eyes of childhood and created a world that was half reassuring and half frightening. His sources were primarily Victorian and among them are evidently the works of Cruikshank Doyle Houghton and Beardsley but also the prints of Dürer and Altdorfer." The plates here illustrate some of Poe's best-known stories in a delightfully macabre fashion--including "Masque of the Red Death" "Fall of the House of Usher" and "Murders in the Rue Morgue.".
