If he can even get them to acknowledge his existence. ** Author is a multiple winner of both Hugo and Nebula Awards, a member of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame, and a Grand Master of SF since 2004; >> Moderate creasing to covers, cover scuffing; minor staining to back cover, Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" Tall.

The Action - A body is mysteriously ripped from its coffin. CUT. For this is only the first scene of a new horror movie being shot on location - or is it? Because a recent victim… of a car accident has indeed vanished. Suddenly the terrors of the film script are enacted in frightful reality. Just what IS the connection between Anvil Productions and the disappearance of more people from the village? Ann Green, a young and attractive journalist, makes it her business to find out and becomes enmeshed in a dangerous web of horror. Deliberately pursuing her solitary investigation, she feels herself exposed to evil, but she cannot back out now. Only she can stop this uncanny progression of events, or fall victim to them. ** AI; In the quiet village of Eldritch, a chilling tale unfolds. As dusk settles, a thick fog creeps over the cobblestone streets, and the villagers lock their doors in fear. Whispers of a cursed lineage and a vengeful spirit haunt the night. The legend speaks of an ancient feud that soaked the soil in blood, giving rise to a spectral figure seeking retribution. Each year, as the harvest moon rises, the specter is said to emerge, wandering the village in search of peace, leaving behind a trail of crimson that vanishes by dawn. This tale, passed down through generations, serves as a grim reminder of the village's bloody history and the consequences of a wrath left unquenched.** VERY RARE TITLE; >> Front cover creasing; cover scuffing; wear to paper spine.

Add to basketCondition: Very good. Washington, D.C., October 1, 1975., 1975. Very good. - Over 60 words typed on 10-1/2 inch high by 8 inch wide "Congress of the United States" stationery. U.S. Congressman James G. Martin thanks the former U.S. Congressman from New York Seymour Halpern for his information on a medical issue, "Thanks very muc…h for forwarding the information on renal diseases. I'm certain that it will prove most useful as hearings have not been concluded in this area." He goes on to express his appreciation to Dr. Merrill for the material. Signed "Jim Martin". There is a short ink line scribbled at the top. Folded for mailing, else fine. The American chemist and politician James Grubbs Martin (born 1935) served as U.S. Congressman from North Carolina before being elected Governor of North Carolina. Martin is North Carolina's oldest surviving governor. The recipient Queens, New York Republican Congressman Seymour Halpern (1913-1997) started his political career as a campaign aide to New York's powerful mayor Fiorella La Guardia and first served in New York's State Senate for 14 years before seeking a seat in the U.S. Congress. In Albany Halpern sponsored 279 bills that became law, including measures on schools, housing, civil rights, nutrition and mental health. A Liberal, he was something of an anomaly as the lone Republican representative from New York City, and generally garnered support from Labor Unions and endorsement from the Liberal Party. Yet he never even considered switching parties as he considered membership in the Republican Party a family tradition and commitment. While he found ample time for his private pursuits, including painting and collecting autographs, he took his legislative duties very seriously. Of these, he was proudest of his co-sponsorship of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and of the original 1965 Medicare legislation.

Add to basketNo Binding. Condition: Very Good. Original autograph letter signed (ALS) by P.pon "[We hereby declare that Ms. L. Cassinelli occupied our house located in Pera Rue, Hodja Ali No 19. On December 1, 1887, and left him on September 30, 1899. That during all time, he did not pay me the tax. P. pon de la succession de feu le Comte A.… de Camondo. [i.e. On behalf of the succession of Count A[braham Salomon] Camondo, (1781-1873)]. Probably it's signed by his advocate of Moise de Camondo. Recipient is not defined. Letter indicates one of Camondo family's houses in Pera, Constantinople. 26,5x21 cm. Completely in French. 14 lines. On a paper watermarked "William Brown & Co., London". William Brown and Co. were located in London in this 'St. Mary Axe, and 40 to 41, Old Broad Street, London, E.C.' address according to Grace's guide to British industrial industry; they worked on 'Lithographic and Letterpress Printers'. 1887 Registered as a Limited Company. Count Moïse de Camondo, (1860-1935), was an Ottoman Empire-born French banker and art collector. He was a member of the prominent Camondo family. As a child, Camondo moved with his family from their home in Constantinople, Ottoman Empire, to Paris around 1869, where he grew up and continued the career of his father, Nissim de Camondo (1830-1889), as a banker. He was born into a Sephardic Jewish family that owned one of the largest banks in the Ottoman Empire, established in France since 1869. Starting in 1911, he completely rebuilt the family's Parisian mansion on the Parc Monceau in order to house his collection of 18th-century French furniture and artwork. Working closely with the architect René Sergent, he created a palatial home conforming to certain 18th-century traditions, even planning the room dimensions to match exactly the objects in his collection. The entryway is inspired by the Petit Trianon of Versailles. The home includes a kosher kitchen with separate sections for meat and dairy. The dining room includes a beautifully-carved green marble fountain in the shape of a shell, with a dolphin spigot for the ritual washing of hands before eating a meal. Some highlights of his collection include a French silver service that had been ordered by Russian Empress Catherine the Great, a set of Buffon porcelain (with exact reproductions of ornithological drawings) from the Sèvres manufacturer, and perhaps the only existing complete set of Gobelin royal tapestry sketches. He married Irène Cahen d'Anvers, daughter of Louis Cahen d'Anvers, in 1891. They separated in August 1897 after her affair with de Camondo's stable master, Count Charles Sampieri, whom she would later marry and divorce. The children, Nissim and Beatrice, remained with de Camondo. The mansion was completed in 1914, but his son did not reside there very long, as he rejoined the French Army to fight in The Great War. It had been de Camondo's great hope that his son, whom he adored, would take over the family empire. Following Nissim's death in 1917, de Camondo closed all banking activities. He largely withdrew from society and devoted himself primarily to his collection and to hosting dinners for a club of gourmets at regular intervals. Camondo died in 1935, and the museum opened the following year. He donated the home to Paris's Decorative Arts society as a museum (Musée Nissim de Camondo) in honor of the loss of his son Nissim in World War I. In addition to the collection, the meticulously-restored service areas, elevator, and woodwork of the mansion are noteworthy. During the German occupation of France during World War II, his daughter Béatrice, his son-of-law Léon Reinach, and their children (Fanny and Bertrand) were deported from France and died in the Auschwitz concentration camp. As a result, the de Camondo family died out. Signed by Author(s).
