Stories of Darkness and Dread
Brennan, Joseph Payne. Arkham House, 1973. Hardbound. Brennan, described here in his jacket bio as ‘object[ing] to the replacement of beautiful landmarks and historical sites by wastelands of concrete and the egg-crate cubicles of apartment living’, published an astonishing 400–500 short stories during his lifetime. Eighteen of his Lovecraftian best—works written, according to Stephen King, in a style that is 'unashamed' and 'capable of wielding enormous power'—are collected here and jacketed with the expressive lettering and pointillistic illustration work of Denis Tiani.
In lovely shape: Tight, square spine. Former owner name to the front flyleaf, but interior is else clean and unmarked. Mylar-protected jacket has some light wear. 173 pp. Featured Rare & Collectible.
