London, Constable, 1901.
First 6d paperback edition,[bound in a Publisher’s Binding with two other 6d novels]. 8vo. Original red cloth titled and decorated in black and gilt to spine and front board.
A publisher’s bound example of the rather frail first paperback edition, bound without wraps in a sammelband with two popular George Meredith novels from the same 6d library. Unusual thus.
In stock
Some sunning to spine panel and fraying at spine ends, a few other areas of light discolouration or scuffing to the cloth, strong and durable. A very good copy with some light wear. Internally clean, black glazed endpapers, all edges gilt.

The best example of this rare, Hubin-listed three decker by Irish author Sheridan Le Fanu that we have ever seen, extremely uncommon in the original cloth and in such condition. The story itself features the Gothic tropes and elements one would expect from the author of Uncle Silas (1864) and In a Glass Darkly (1872), a crumbling family pile, hidden romance, suspicious death, a looming inheritance and dangerous ambition.
