Edition originale
Octavo, pp. [1-6] 7-9 [10] 11-131 [132: blank] [note: first leaf is a blank], six inserted plates with surreal illustrations by Paule de Nize, original tan wrappers printed in red and black, all edges untrimmed. First edition. A macabre jue d'espirit of two 'bright young things' who embark on a career in murder for pleasure and profit. Very flip and cynical, satirizing conventions of formula romance; a cross between Ambrose Bierce and Charles Addams. Probably self-published by Robbins and apparently his last book, though credits page notes "To Appear Shortly / To Hell and Home Again." Robbins moved to France in the 1930s, dying there 10 May 1949. This book appears to have been published in the late 1930s or, more likely, the early 1940s. Locke (A Spectrum of Fantasy, p. 183) notes he once owned a copy of this "scarce" book. Not listed in standard fantasy or crime fiction checklists. Not in the Eaton Catalogue. Mild wear at lower front spine fold, covers a bit dusty and tanned, a very good or better copy. An obscure, rare book. (#171007).

Octavo, pp. [1-4] 5-282 [283-288: ads], original red cloth, spine panel stamped in black. Photoplay edition.

Hubin (1994), p. 686. A fine copy in very good dust jacket (with photograph of Chaney and costars on front panel) with light wear at spine ends and corner tips with several short tears and nicks to same, some rubbing along front flap fold, and some rubbing at upper center of spine panel. The delicate orange lettering on the spine panel is not faded. (#161257).
