SLOANE, William. To Walk the Night
SLOANE, William. To Walk the Night. Cleveland and New York: World Book Publishing. 1946. 8vo. First edition thus; the very scarce first printing appeared in 1937 published by Farrar & Rinehart. Publisher’s black cloth lettered in blue to the spine, in the dust jacket designed by Riki Levinson. A very good copy, the cloth clean and bright, remainder stamp to textblock bottom edge, though the contents otherwise fine barring some even and light toning throughout. The dust jacket not priced with code of ‘049’ to front flap. A couple of minor nicks and chips to corners and tips, but still a handsome copy.
William Sloane’s most famous work in his generally minuscule production—he quit writing to focus on publishing. This a bit of a classic of the genre, "a subtle, moving story of mood and character, written in the great tradition of British fantasy, even though the author is an American." The novel is continually likened to H. P. Lovecraft.
