The Case of Charles Dexter Ward
Lovecraft, H. P. Panther, 1973. Softbound. Cover artist Ian Miller looks to aquatic life, insects, and gnarled trees as inspiration; he describes his style as 'a huge mess of pottage spiked with grit', and has said that his detailed line work and limited palette stem from both shortsightedness and an admiration for the moodiness and narrative tendencies of the Northern European art tradition. His work here expertly complements this hard-to-find edition of the Lovecraft novella that inspired Roger Corman's The Haunted Palace.
Tight, square, uncreased spine has some sunning. Clean, unmarked interior. Pages are lightly toned. There is a 1- x .5-inch area of heavy rubbing to the front cover, but no other notable wear. 127 pp. Featured Rare & Collectible.
