First edition. 56-73, 20-48 pp. Bound in publisher's slate blue side-stapled wraps lettered in black. Near Fine. A fantastic copy. This marks the first appearance of Lovecraft's most common recurring Dream Cycle character, Randolph Carter, featured on p. 41-48 in the short story The Statement of Randolph Carter. Loosely modeled after Lovecraft himself, Carter is a melancholic author whose writings go unnoticed. OCLC locates only 3 institutional holdings; scarce. Joshi I-B-i-57.a.
