Item description from seller

Octavo, original gray cloth, front panel stamped in pink, spine panel stamped in pink and blind, top edge stained pink, fore edge untrimmed, bottom edge rough-trimmed. Later edition. First published in London in 1925 by John Long as THE REMEDY. ". Drake's reputation as a horror writer rests largely on THE REMEDY . a suspense thriller of black magic and possession, praised by Lovecraft for its 'strange and terrible vistas.' Granted, the book has the awkwardness of a first novel, particularly in the weak romantic subplot, but an atmosphere of brooding evil builds powerfully throughout, culminating in the climactic exorcism scene. THE REMEDY remains one of the better horror novels of the 1920s." - Sullivan, ed., The Penguin Encyclopedia of Horror and the Supernatural, pp. 136-137. A fine copy. Trade paperback format. (#177538).
