Great Britian, England, UK.: TANDEM Books., 1974. Book. Illus. by Painted Cover Art!. Fine. Soft cover. First Edition By This Publisher.. 157 pages. " The fourteen chilling tales in this collection were written while A.N.L.

James. The Alabaster Hand is recognised as a genuine cornerstone of supernatural literature --- stories include: Herodes Redivivus; Inscription; The Alabaster Hand; Topley Place Sale; Tudor Chimney; Christmas Game; White Sack; Four-Poster; Negro's Head; Tregannet Book Hours; Encounter in Mist; Lectern; Number Seventy-Nine; Devil's Autograph" >> Minor cover scuffing; small pen to title page.
