Lovecraft, H.P.

Beyond the Wall of Sleep. Sauk City, WI: Arkham House, 1943

8vo. Original publisher's black cloth gilt-lettered on spine in original dust jacket; top edge of front panel with some minor repairs from chipping, spot of recolor to front fold. Custom multi-colored cloth and green leather case. 

First edition.

“The second Lovecraft omnibus, containing his remaining fiction, an array of his ‘revisions’ … and an extensive selection of his poetry … [and] two previously unpublished short novels, The Case of Charles Dexter War and The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath, of whose whereabouts … [were] not known when compiling The Outsider” (Joshi).

This collection also contains "Herbert West The Re-Animator," likely the introduction for many to Lovecraft through the cult film adaption of the story.
