Description: THE SHUNNED HOUSE, Arkham House, 2008, the publishers second hard cover edition (although the first edition with both printed sheets and binding by the publisher), as new without dust-wrapper as issued. This new edition, besides retaining the Frank Belknap Long preface, also prints for the first time an essay by Robert Weinberg detailing the printing and publishing history of this work. This is one of a handful of copies specifically SIGNED by Weinberg as well. The colophon states that this is #53 of 100 copies which includes 17 copies offered with an original signature from the first edition tucked in a sleeve attached to the r.p.d. (making no reference to any of them being SIGNED ). The authors most desirable first book (preceded by several pamphlets). Apparently now the Arkham House publication with the smallest print run and thus destined to be missing from many otherwise complete publisher collections.
