About This Item
Messiah by Gore Vidal, Ballantine U5022, 1965, third printing. Book is bright, square and tight.
Synopsis
When a mortician appears on television to declare that death is infinitely preferable to life, he sparks a religious movement that quickly leaves Christianity and most of Islam in the dust. Gore Vidal's deft and daring blend of satire and prophecy, first published in 1954, eerily anticipates the excesses of Jim Jones, David Koresh, and the Heaven's Gate suicide cult.

I sell hardcover and paperback books primarily in the genres of fantasy, horror and science fiction. In hardcovers I specialize in small press, signed and limited editions.I have been a collector for over 50 years. I picture all of my items and describe anything that cannot be seen from the pics. I never use stock photos; all pics are the actual item. I securely pack and ship in boxes, never mailers.
