David Selig was born with an awesome power -- the ability to look deep into the human heart, to probe the darkest truths hidden in the secret recesses of the soul. With reckless abandon, he used his talent in the pursuit of pleasure. Then, one day, his power began to die... Universally acclaimed as Robert Silverberg's masterwork, Dying Inside is a vivid, harrowing portrait of a man who squandered a remarkable gift, of a superman who had to learn what it was to be human. It's a powerful character study, and possibly a metaphor for aging. What makes this editon also special is that there is a new introduction by Silverberg on pages 7-21 where he speaks of what went into this extraordinary novel. One of the most beautiful of the Centipede Limited Editions.Bound in black cloth pictorially stamped in blind, spine lettering silver, 2 color frontispeices, by Jim Burns, interior iand cover llustrated in colior by Joe Wilson, interviews by Darrell Schweitzer.
