Hardcover, and first trade edition. Very fine (unread) copy in very fine jacket. Doodle of haunted face and inscribed "For Sean - Best of Dreams & Wishes/John Picacio 2009" on the title page by the artist. Critically well-received SF/Horror novel. "Filled with long, beautiful sentences that play out like never-ending riffs from a jazz musician's horn, the new novel by World Fantasy Award-winner Shepard works as a stylistic experiment and as a short, edgy look at the intricacies of fate and the power each individual may or may not have over his own destiny." - Reed Business Information.
