About This Item
London: Victor Gollancz Ltd., 1928. 288pp. Small 8vo. Publisher's black cloth and red spine lettering, without the rare dustwrapper. Crown of spine has small loss that touches on the top of "H". An otherwise near fine and lovely copy.
The author's first novel and "one of the most absorbing, atmospheric and mind-boggling slices of fantasy ever committed to print. Part dream-like expressionist melodrama, part creepy horror, part eerie evocation of the magical city of Prague and its shadow-haunted ghetto, The Golem occupies a singular niche in fantastika." (The Guardian)
