About This Item
Sauk City, Wisconsin: Arkham House, 1964. First edition. Frank Utpatel [illus].. Black boards, gilt spine. xii,207 pp. First edition. Map illustrated endpapers by Frank Utpatel, created from a map provided by Campbell. A fine copy, in the beautifully illustrated dust jacket by Utpatel; jacket is only lightly sunned at the spine.
First book by the eighteen-year-old Campbell, and the youngest author to date in Arkham House's history. Campbell is credited with making a significant contribution to Cthulhu lore, and with adding additional geography to the Mythos by setting his tales in the Severn Valley of the United Kingdom, rather than in the Arkham country of Massachusetts.
