¶ New Edition with a New Introduction by Anderson; originally published by Covici Friede in New York, 1937. Ruined in the stock market crash of 1929, Selden Seaverns gratefully accepts a job from rich school chum Ormes Ormesby to catalog books in the Ormesby estate library. Selden's trials following his arrival at the House of Ormesby are more than even the most desperate employee should have to endure : He is noshed on by Ormes's vampire sister, trapped in the subterranean lime pit where family skeletons are interred, and set upon by Ormesby himself, who has a penchant for turning feral and who, it seems, is in cahoots with Selden's estrang ed e x- wife to frame him for a ghastly crime. "A tale of madness, hauntings, murder, and lycanthropy in this marvelous novel of supernatural terror"
