Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. More chills in its little length than in a whole shelf of bestsellers. - Stephen King At once moral fable, cautionary ghost story and inspired attack on the whole hellbent drift of modern letters, this is a splendid tale, splendidly told, which Ford or Henry James would have been glad to have written. - Robert Nye, Guardian Wry and insightful . . . toys with the notion of demonic possession but becomes a thoroughly realistic and highly original story of revenge; a chilling cautionary tale. - Elaine Kendall, Los Angeles Times A brief return to the world of Faust, Mephistopheles and the Devil pact. Mr. Judd . . . achieves a deep polish. - Robert Grudin, The New York Times Book Review After Edward, a rising young author, pens a savage review of the new novel by the world-famous O.M. Tyrell, he is surprised to receive an invitation to visit the old man at his villa in the south of France. The night of their meeting, Tyrell dies, and soon after, Edward's career mysteriously starts to soar as he earns fame, fortune and critical acclaim.

This edition also features a new afterword by the author, in which he reveals the inspirations for this haunting tale.…
