Mass Market Paperback. Condizione: Very Good Plus. Misbound Reprint. A VERY GOOD PLUS copy of Pike # 1312. Exceedingly scarce. Being a George H. Smith collector, I wonder if there ever were a novel titled "State of Torment". The back cover teaser suggests a sadomasochistic plot - but between the covers we find John [AKA Charles Nuetzel] Davidson's very scarce novel "Appointment with Terror" (Pike Books # 204). Regarding the Davidson: "Just out of prison, he was definitely looking for some action at the party. He stopped before Rena. Then his hand jerked out and wrapped around her neck. He yanked her face to his, powerfully forcing her lips against his mouth." 160 pages. CONDITION: a bright, tight, square, unmarked, uncreased, apparently unread copy with minimal shelf-wear (a touch of rubbing on the back cover, compromised only by a bumped spine top and a few pages cut without a right margin. This attractive, collectible copy is now in a clear, protective polypropylene bag. NOTE: A higher resolution cover scan will gladly be supplied on request. This small item will be shipped with a complimentary upgrade to trackable First Class on domestic (US) orders.
