What’s Old: Prince of Darkness by Gerald Verner
We turn to our books section this week for our What’s Old feature, spotlighting things from our existing stock you may have missed. Specifically, our Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror category where, lurking under a lurid pulpish cover, you’ll find an anthology of horror stories edited by Gerald Verner, published in paperback for the first time by Pedigree books in 1960. Featuring works by Algernon Blackwood, John Buchan, Margaret Irwin, F G Loring, Cotton Mather (who chronicled the Salem witch trials), Sax Rohmer, Saki, Dorothy L Sayers, Montague Summers and Gerald Verner himself (who also wrote as Donald Stuart) the book covers Witchcults, Satanism, Sorcery and Lycanthropy. This is a very rare edition in a nice VG grade at £70.
