Garden City, New York: Doubleday, 1954. Black cloth. Light yellowing to page edges, very nearly fine otherwise. Dust jacket has nicks and slight rubbing to spine ends and outer corners, VG otherwise, flap price intact. Lowry was an unusual literary writer, mostly forgotten today. "Here are eleven stories about normal people who behave abnormally and abnormal people who behave in no recognizable way at all. Robert Lowry's world is a brutal one, and he describes it with a realism underlaid with a disquieting element of fantasy." - from the jacket flap.
