THE SATANIST

First edition, first printing. Inscribed association copy. Publisher's original pictorial boards with gilt and red titles to the spine, in the Sax illustrated dustwrapper. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, with some bumping at the spine tips and rubbing at the extremities. The contents are clean throughout and without previous owner's inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the rubbed and slightly nicked dustwrapper that has a closed tear across to the upper spine. Not price clipped (18s net to the front flap).

Inscribed by the author in blue ink on the title page "For Peter Underwood / With every kind thought / from / Dennis Wheatley". An interesting association copy. At the time of publication "Ghost Hunter" Peter Underwood was president of the paranormal investigation and research organisation The Ghost Club. As an author and broadcaster his published work changed the field of literature on the paranormal. The Satanist is the second of two occult novels featuring Molly Fountain, the first being To The Devil-A Daughter.
