THE MONSTER MAKER AND OTHER STORIESW.C. MorrowThis title is out of print. |
A contemporary of the great Ambrose Bierce, W.C. Morrow was one of the most important U.S. authors of fantastic fiction in the last years of the 19th century. His only collection of short fiction, The Ape, The Idiot, and Other People is a rare volume topping many a collector's want list. With the publication of The Monster Maker and other stories, editors S.T. Joshi and Stefan Dziemianowicz have gathered not only the best stories from Morrow's rare collection, but they have unearthed nearly twenty stories that have remained unreprinted until now.
For collectors of macabre fiction or those interested in California's decadent movement this is an indispensable volume. Two dozen tales running the gamut from the ghostly to stories of science gone horribly awry, this massive collection of macabre fiction is the largest volume yet from Midnight House.
As Morrow's work has historically been so difficult (and expensive) to come by, we respectfully suggest reservations on this volume as our print-run is strictly limited to 450 copies.
Cover artwork and interior portrait of the author are by noted artist Allen Koszowski.
Despite the size of this book, we have retained our standard pricing of $40.00 the copy.
Anticipated shipping date is March 21, 2000.
