Don't Dream gathers forty short stories, novelettes, prose poems, unpublished sketches and essays by Donald Wandrei into a single omnibus edition. Classic horror stories such as "The Painted Mirror", previously uncollected stories, and unpublished material amply demonstrate Wandrei's talents and versatility in the field of fantasy, science fiction, and supernatural horror. One of 2000 copies of the first edtion; contains a flyleaf signed by the editors, the cover artist and interior artist as well as Helen Mary Hughesdon, writer of the Introduction, and D. H. Olson, writer of the Afterword. Wandrei was co-founder along with August Derleth of Arkham House, one of the most respected publishing houses specializing in horror and fantasy. Very good to fine condition, very minor smudging and scratching on the DJ, no other defects apparent. DJ very good to fine, still wearing the original mylar jacket, unclipped.

Review
"The author's dark fantasies and horror tales, 26 in all and inspired by Poe, Baudelaire and Lovecraft, appear in this volume, which also includes 12 lush prose poems from Wandrei's youth and his evocative critical essay, 'The Imaginative Element in Modern Literature.' ...his nightmare landscapes, however, notably the time-regression story 'The Lives of Alfred Kramer' and the shuddery 'Strange Harvest, ' Wandrei's 'wizard imagery'--his own term--counterpoints his richly chosen language to call up sleep-haunting specters, malignantly glowing jewels and the ashen undead....When his work was at its fearsome peak, Wandrei was very, very scary indeed."
In 1939, Wandrei cofounded Arkham House to publish the work of H.P. Lovecraft. But he also was a writer of sf, horror, and fantasy for the pulp magazines Weird Tales and Astounding Stories. In a companion volume to Colossus: The Collected Science Fiction of Donald Wandrei (Fedogan & Bremer, 1989), editors Philip J. Rahman and Dennis E. Weiler have rescued from obscurity Wandrei's published and unpublished horror and fantasy short fiction, prose poems, essays, and marginalia. Don't Dream contains traditional supernatural horror stories, lighthearted fantasy tales, non-science oriented science fiction, and his short "dream" mood pieces. While some of his pseudo-science is now dated, Wandrei's imaginative use of language renders his fiction worthy of new reading 60 years after it was first published. Highly recommended...
