Description
Here’s an unusual title–Dark Music and Other Spectral Tales–by Jack Snow, who wrote Who’s Who in Oz, the last of the official Wizard of Oz canonical books. From collection of Oz great Fred Meyer, inscribed to him from Suzanne Althoff in 1947. Published in 1947 by Herald Publishing, this is a 1st edition with dust jacket. About the book from FantasticFiction.com: “The eighteen stories in this volume run the gamut of supernatural fantasy. There is horror, stark terror, mystic adventure and fragile beauty–all the overtones and undertones that go into weaving the eerie realms of the imagination. Snow wrote tales with unearthly atmosphere but a bit light on plot. Ray Bradbury agree to write a foreward to this book, but he withdrew. Some of these stories appear in the legendary WEIRD TALES pulp.”
The dust jacket is in good condition, with some splitting along spine and flap edge and wear to spine ends. The book exterior is very good and the binding is tight, but there are some vertical fold marks to the front and rear endpapers.
