paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that… encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. The format is approximately 5.25 inches by 8 inches. 219, [5] pages. Basil Frederick Albert Copper (5 February 1924 3 April 2013) was an English writer and former journalist and newspaper editor. He became a full-time writer in 1970. In addition to horror and det…ective fiction, Copper was perhaps best known for his series of Solar Pons stories continuing the character created as a tribute to Sherlock Holmes by August Derleth. His first professionally published short story was "The Spider" in the Fifth Pan Book of Horror Stories (1964). His first book was the Mike Faraday novel The Dark Mirror (1966). The first of Copper's stories published by editor August Derleth was "The House by the Tarn" in Dark Things (1971). Copper went on to have a long-lived relationship with Derleth's Arkham House, which published his collections From Evil's Pillow (1973) and And Afterward, the Dark (1977) and his novels Necropolis (1980) and The House of the Wolf. His work drew praise from Donald Wandrei who said of him: "He beguiles the mind as he lures the imagination beyond the outposts of reality." Copper's work was also championed by editor Peter Haining. Copper's best-known macabre tales include: "The Academy of Pain", "Amber Print", "The Recompensing of Albano Pizar" (dramatized by BBC Radio 4) "The Candle in the Skull' (read on BBC Radio 4), "Better Dead", the acclaimed Lovecraftian novella "Beyond the Reef", "Bright Blades Gleaming" and "Ill Met by Daylight". He also wrote a long-running novel series featuring hard-boiled Los Angeles private detective Mike Faraday (58 novels from 1966 to 1988). Here Be Daemons: Tales of Horror and the Uneasy is a short story anthology by author Basil Copper. It was published by Robert Hale Publishing in 1978. It was Copper's third book published and was reissued in paperback by Sphere Books, 1981. In this spine-chilling collection of tales, Basil Copper offers a diabolical vision of Evil at work. There's the elderly Mrs. Cartwright who discovers the hideous truth about her sweet young nephew - too late; the successful stockbroker who pays a suitably satanic price to eliminate his rival; the wealthy widow who exacts a hair-raising, horrific revenge upon her callous lover; and the sect which invokes an unholy abomination beyond man's wildest nightmares. As each macabre tale unfolds, Basil Copper plunges the reader into a vortex of blood-chilling terror and evil. Presumed First U. S. Edition, First printing.
