Description:
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1951. First Edition. Attractive copy of this collaborative novel, written by the Northern California chapter of the MWA, under the direction of Anthony Boucher. "Each author was to write a chapter for the book. As the book was handed off to the next author, the challenge was to use the material that had already been written and add to it in a meaningful way to continue the mystery...The book opens with a mysterious phone call announcing that Dr. Barratt's daughter Midge has been kidnapped and placed in a coffin. She has no more than five or six hours worth of air before she dies. Each chapter in the book is titled with the exact time, so the reader is constantly aware of how much time remains for Midge to live" (Marks, Jeffrey. Anthony Boucher: A Biobibliography, p.99). Basis for William Castle's 1958 film Macabre, starring William Prince. Hubin, p.127. First Printing. Octavo (19.75cm); patterned paper-covered boards; blue topstain; dustjacket; x,235,[5]pp. Signed on the… Read More
