Item description from seller

[a good sound copy, with some mild smudging/soiling on the front cover; the jacket is moderately edgeworn, with small tears and a bit of paper loss at the spine ends, a short closed tear and some associated creasing at the bottom of the front panel, and an unfortunate hole torn in the front panel (about 1.5" tall and roughly in the shape of Maine)] The second novel by this Virginia-born author (1877-1969), who began writing in her fifties and authored a handful of genre-straddling novels, some with supernatural elements and all with a Southern Gothic flavor. (Several of her books are listed in both Bleiler and Hubin, which will give you some idea of their dual nature.) The jacket blurb is vaguely non-descriptive in that special jacket-blurb manner -- referring to "abstruse passion told in terms of everyday American life" and "the strength of character exerting itself in the face of inner mental struggle" and "of emotions beyond the normal" and "moments of real horror," while all the while you're saying to yourself, "yeah, but what's it ABOUT?" Well, I'll tell you: it's about a very unhappy young man of 25, just returned to his Southern hometown after three years of study in Paris, who is suffering from a bunch of personal and psychological issues, chief among which is an obsessive hatred for his father. The complex narrative, which unfolds largely in flashback, ultimately reveals that the father was a thorougly villainous fellow who reciprocated his son's hatred, and who had been responsible for numerous abuses of both his wife and son (which I won't spoil by revealing here) which had contributed to the latter's sorry state of mind and emotion.

Description de la boutique

Welcome to ReadInk (rhymes with "Dead Ink"), now in our 29th year of putting interesting books into the hands of interested people. **** Although I occasionally lapse into the "royal we" voice, ReadInk is just me, from one end of the pipeline to the other: buying, cataloging, customer service, shipping, you name it. Nothing here is automated, and every order or inquiry gets my prompt, personal attention. **** In describing a book's physical condition, I employ standard book-grading terminology (Good/Very Good/Fine, with various in-between gradations as appropriate) and do my best to avoid both excessive jargon and overly-finicky detail. My goal is always to present a faithful impression of a book's condition and appearance; significant flaws are individually noted, or if too numerous are succinctly summarized. **** Books are more than just physical objects, however: they are also intellectual/information vessels, and in almost every case I also include some information about a book's content in my listing, even if it's only a carefully chosen quotation from the dust jacket copy. (This may sound like a small thing, but take a look sometime and you'll see how amazingly few sellers bother with this, especially in the case of older fiction, which is one of my specialties.) **** I take great care (and pride) in my packaging of books for shipment; I figure it's my responsibility to ensure that each book I send out will withstand the rigors of the U.S. Postal System, and will reach its new owner in the same condition as advertised. (A sturdy box or an unbendable package is always involved.) **** That's all there is to ReadInk: just a guy who has loved books all my life (perhaps to excess) and entered the trade in my "middle years" to see what I could make of it. And I'm still finding out. **** To view my inventory exclusively, head over to my website -- www.readinkbooks.com. ---- Howard Prouty, prop.
