first edition. Famously described by H.P. Lovecraft as "one of the most potent pieces of macabre imagination ever written." Issued with and without publisher's catalogue inserted at rear, no priority, this copy without the catalogue. "As a visionary phantasmagoria it is without parallel" (Barron, Fantasy Literature 3-178). Quite scarce. ABPC records only three copies (including one ex-library copy) sold in the last two decades. Currey, p. 243; Bleiler, p. 101.
