Hall, Angus. Ace Books, 1969 (Later Printing). Softbound. Hall started out as a Fleet Street film and theater critic and wrote a 1966 novel of literary failure named after the working title—The High-Bouncing Lover—for the poorly selling The Great Gatsby. He later transitioned to the horror genre, as seen in this satanic panicker, the source material for the 1974 Vincent Price vehicle, Madhouse, a Samuel Z. Arkoff–produced exploitation flick embodying the ARKOFF formula: Action, Revolution, Killing, Oratory, Fantasy, and Fornication.
Spine is tight, but has some cosmetic creasing and a slight lean. Former seller stamp to the first (promotional) leaf, but interior is else clean and unmarked. Some toning to the pages. Some edge-wear and a one-inch crease to the back cover at the fore-edge head. 156 pp. Featured Rare & Collectible.
