Resultados de búsqueda: macabre from Turtleman Used Books

308 deckle-edged pages. Book club edition. Book is in great condition; the dust jacket just has a few small tears. A man finds that with the use of certain hallucinogenic drugs, he is able to travel between his time and the 14th century. Described on the flyleaf as an ancient/modern Gothic tale. Some aspects of the story make me wonder if it wasn't a bit influential in the composition of Stephen King's and Peter Straub's The Talisman. (I'm just speculating, you'll have to ask them.)

First edition. A collection of short stories and poems from a master of the macabre. Some horror, some thriller, some suspense, some just flat out weird.

A small amount of wear. The covers have a few chips along the edges, the spine is skewed a little, with 3-4 creases. The pages are clean, tight and unmarked. Originally published in 1943. A rather scarce book in better than average condition. Really doesn't look 50 years old.

First edition, second printing. A little shelf wear on the book, the dust jacket has avoided even that, encased in a clear plastic book cover. The classic evil twin story, reimaged in Straub's own way. This book will ship at over two pounds. Rather than ask for a shipping adjustment at the time of purchase, I have opted to add a small shipping surcharge to the list price.

A story of life, friendship, magic, and other stuff. The book shows very little wear. The dust jacket has some wear around the edges and is clipped. Currently protected by a clear plastic book cover.

A collection of three early Straub novels, including one not published before. Julia, originally published in 1975 as Full Circle, is a ghost story with elements of horror and mystery. If You Could See Me Now is another horror story first published in 1977. Under Venus is a non-horror novel set in 1960, published here for the first time and released on its own in 1985. There is a fair amount of chipping along the edges and at the corners. A 1 cm x 1.5 cm piece is missing from the edge of the back cover, as shown in photo #2. This book will ship at about two pounds. Excess shipping costs are included in the list price.
