Octavo, pp. [1-2: blank] [3-8] [1-2] 3-200, publisher's green cloth, front and rear panels ruled in blind, spine panel stamped in gold, top edge gilt, other edges untrimmed. Second edition. Probably a reissue of first printing sheets with new preliminaries. The author's second collection of weird fiction, preceded by HAUNTINGS (1890). Lee's weird fiction earned the praise of Montague Summers who equated her talent to that of M. R. James. "Lee's stories are really in a category by themselves. Intelligent, amusingly ironic, imaginative, original, they deserve more than the passing attention that they have attracted." - Sullivan (ed), The Penguin Encyclopedia of Horror and the Supernatural, pp. 256-57.

Cloth rubbed at edges and a bit soiled, remnant of a small label on the spine panel, glue ghost on the front paste-down from a small label no longer present, mild abrasions on rear paste-down where a pocket or book slip was removed, a sound, good copy. This "second edition" is just as hard to find as the scarce first printing. (#171588).
