But from the moment the charismatic Perly Dunsmore arrives in town soliciting donations for his auctions the community of Harlowe slowly and insidiously starts to change. As the auctioneer carries out his terrible inscrutable plan the Moores and their neighbors will find themselves gradually but inexorably stripped of their freedom their possessions and perhaps even their lives.<br /> <br /> Upon its release in 1975 The Auctioneer was received with wide acclaim. Newsday hailed it “a suspenseful engrossing novel with the most gripping and violent ending we’ve encountered for some time.â€Â The Grand Rapids Press lauded it “a powerful novel by a powerful author.â€Â The New York Times called it “explosive and chilling… I challenge anyone to resist it after reading the first few pages.â€<br /> <br /> Despite critical praise sales of over a million copies a popular television advertisement and efforts to turn the novel into a film The Auctioneer went out of print soon after its release and was considered a lost gem of a novel for subsequent decades. Written by a young talented and promising author The Auctioneer would ultimately be Joan Samson’s only novel. Sadly she passed away shortly after the book’s publication edging the novel further into obscurity. The Auctioneer found its way back to print in 2018 in a trade edition returning at last to chill a new generation of readers.<br /> --- --- ---<br /> With echoes of Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery†and Stephen King’s Needful Things Samson’s slow burn of understated violence builds to a climactic fever pitch with an ending that makes for one of the most unforgettable horror novels of all time.<br /> <br /> This is the limited 'Artist Gift' edition of The Auctioneer by Joan Samson. The edition measures 6†x 9†and feature six black & white illustrations by Dave Christensen as well as a new exclusive introduction by Warren C. Carberg Jr.; and a preface by Grady Hendrix which appeared in the trade edition. . Suntup Editions hardcover
