The Lurking Fear / H. P. Lovecraft / Limited Edition 550 / 1977 / Necronomicon Press

A lovely facsimile of the first printing of Lovecraft's first story with illustrations by Clark Ashton Smith. A paperbound booklet published in 1977 in a limited edition of 550 by Necronomicon Press.

44 pages illustrated throughout in black-and-white. 28cm x 21cm.

There is a space where the hand numbering of the copy should be, suggesting that this a publisher's proof outside of the 550 run?

Condition: A very good copy. Small tear to the bottom edge of back cover. Interior pages are very good.
