BROWN, Fredric. STARTLING STORIES magazine, Vol 18, No 1, September, 1948 issue. Also Jack Vance, John D. MacDonald and others.. WHAT MAD UNIVERS by Fredric Brown [in] STARTLING STORIES magazine, Vol 18, No 1, September, 1948 issue. CANADIAN ISSUE.

The first appearance in print of this story, later re-worked and published as the novel of the same name (1949). Octavo, original pictorial wrappers.

BULWER LYTTON, Edward [Sir Edward George Earle Lytton, Bart, 1803-1873]. ZANONI. In Three Volumes.
London: Saunders & Otley, Conduit Street. 1842.
First edition. Octavo, original drab boards with green cloth spines, printed paper labels on spine. The first binding. 307 pp + 301 pp + 321pp, 6 page publisher's catalogue of "New Works" at rear of Volume Two, inserted eratta sheet plus [2] pp publ ishers ads at rear of Volume Three. Half-titles in volumes Two and Three only (none in Volume One, as called for). Boards rubbed, spine labels chipped and rubbed, some inner hinges neatly repaired; a very good set. Rare in the original boards. ¶ O c c ultism & the supernatural. The title figure is an immortal Rosicrucian from ancient Chaldea, the tale revolves around his love for a young and beautiful singer. In his Introduction, Lytton claims to have received the story as a manuscript, entir el y in cipher, from a mysterious old man he met in an antiquarian bookshop. Long considered to be one of the most important 19th Century novels of the occult. "In 1835, while researching books on astrology and not long before his separation from hi s w if e, Bulwer-Lytton had a dream in which the fabric of a novel came to him. He produced an incomplete version as 'Zicci' (1838 MONTHLY CHRONICLE; in CRITICAL AND MISCELLANEOUS WRITINGS 1841) and then reworked it substantially as ZANONI (1842). B eari ng some semblance to Charles Maturin's MELMOTH THE WANDERER (1820), this was intended to be an allegory on the human condition, but is too philosophical to work effectively at that level; as a story, however, the tale of an immortal adept and h is sa cri fice for love became one of the classic works of Victorian supernaturalism. In ZANONI Bulwer-Lytton created the image of the 'dweller on the threshold,' a phrase beloved by writers of weird fiction ever since ... Bulwer-Lytton's work was s ensati onal ly popular in his day and had a strong influence on other writers. His occult works, along with those of J. Sheridan Le Fanu, form the basis of modern supernatural fiction." - Clute and Grant, The Encyclopedia of Fantasy (1997).
