London, Hutchinson, 1935. First edition, first impression. Hardback. A very good copy in a good jacket. Featuring 47 short pieces from such luminaries as Balzac, Bierce, Blackwood, Walpole, Stoker, Poe, Hodgson. The jacket has a number of chips and loss, some loss to the black layer, crudely price-clipped; 30% of the flap has been torn off. Spine tips are bumped, with a little toning. Top edge dusty. Owner's plate to the front pastedown. [11612, Hyraxia Books].
