Gently bumped at the spine ends and the very tips of the corners of the covers, else near fine. No dust jacket, as issued. Novel based on the James Whale film "The Bride of Frankenstein" (1935) starring Elsa Lanchester and Boris Karloff. From the Introduction- "One of the most famous of all pre-war horror movies was FRANKENSTEIN, based on Mary Shelley's famous novel and featuring Boris Karloff as the unhappy monster. "A considerable amount of trouble and expense had been involved in the preparation of the sets. After the movie had been completed, it was natural that the producers should want to make further use of them. As a result, a sequel, THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN, was duly made and lurched its way across the silver screens. "It was the custom at that time to announce a movie as being based upon the appropriate book, and promote it accordingly. When THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN was finished, it was realised with some concern that there was no such book. Mary Shelley's original work could not be credited for the sequel, so it was decided that an original novel would have to be prepared, and as a matter of considerable urgency.". …

Novel based on the James Whale film "The Bride of Frankenstein" (1935) starring Elsa Lanchester and Boris Karloff. From George Locke's introduction to the American edition published by Bookfinger, he provides the following information: After the movie was completed it was realized that no book existed for a tie-in. The Hutchinson (U.K.) publishing group which owned the Readers Library imprint commissioned author Michael Harrison to produce a novel. Mr. Harrison was given three weeks to produce a finished work. Harrison started working from a shooting script for the film which contained not only the dialog but the shooting details also. After getting bogged down following the script and working under deadline Harrison decided to ignore the script (but not the story). ".the remaining work represented so radical a departure from the script that the finished book was to all intents and purposes original fiction." Harrison took his pseudonym from a public house, "The Egremont Arms." [Reference: Locke, A Spectrum of Fantasy, p. 77.

First edition. 252 pages. The book is firmly bound in the publisher's blue cloth, lettered and bordered in black to the spine, the cloth is slightly marked and rubbed, with bumping to the extremities and sunning to the spine corresponding with loss to the dust jacket. The text block is foxed, lightly marked and age toned, with slight cracking to the gutters. The dust jacket, featuring the iconic image of Elsa Lanchester as the eponymous Bride of the title, is the original and correctly priced at 2/6 net to the spine, it is foxed and age toned, more so to the spine and reverse, with roughly two fifths of the spine lost and other smaller chips and areas of loss to the front and rear panel, also some short closed tears with associated creasing, some of which have been repaired with thin archival tape to the reverse. The novelisation of the famous horror film, written hastily in a Gothic but not too Gothic style so as to blend authenticity with readability, and published to coincide with the film's release. The Prologue is particularly delightful, purporting to be a conversation between Lord Byron, Percy and Mary Shelley, the two men pressing young Mary to tell them more of the adventures of Frankenstein and his monster, disappointingly though without even a mention of Polidori. The cheap Reader's Library film tie-in edition, with its alternative interpretive jacket artwork, and this more expensive version, which sold itself on the one simple and striking image of Lanchester, were issued simultaneously, the former in large quantity. Jacketed examples of the Queensway Press edition are rare in any condition. …
