Tell A Friend About This Item

Hardcover UK, first printing and true first edition. Signed by co-editor Stephen Jones on the title page. Also signed by contributor Kim Newman on the Contents page. Very fine (unread) copy in very fine jacket. Not a book club, remainder or ex-library copy. The fifth in this British original anthology series, gathering the very best in adult horror fiction and is considered the definitive anthology of dark suspense. The 31 stories in volume 5 are not for squeamish, easily offended or faint-of-heart. In other words, not to be missed by the horror aficiando.
