Stoker (Bram) The Lady of the Shroud
£175
London, Rider, n.d..
20th edition. 8vo. Original pale turquoise cloth. Dust-jacket.
Most other works by Stoker tend to suffer somewhat in the shadow of the monolith that is Dracula, and The Lady of the Shroud is in this category; a brisk and enthusiastic foray into disquieting spectres and family obsessions that opens with an excerpt from “The Journal of Occultism” in a rather trademark Stoker fashion. Scarce in the jacket.

Toning to text-block; cloth very good; jacket with some edge wear, torn at head of spine, area of wear to spine, but overall an attractive example.
