Gibbs, Sir Philip: Darkened Rooms: A Novel. 22723
Hutchinson & Co.: London. 1929.
First edition (& 1st printing).
Octavo, pp. [1-8] 9-286, original gray cloth, front and spine panels stamped in black.
''Supernatural novel by Sir Philip Hamilton Gibbs (1877-1966), UK journalist and novelist whose other work in the field of fantastic literature included a mixed collection of stories, OUT OF THE RUINS AND OTHER LITTLE NOVELS (1927) that contains fantastic and criminous tales, and THE KEY OF LIFE (n.d., [1948]), a short novel on the theme of rejuvenation by chemical means. DARKENED ROOMS is a cleverly wrought cautionary tale of the tragic fate of a young woman who commits suicide rather than marry a London medium (a student of occult and psychic phenomena who may have limited paranormal abilities) who claims to be possessed by the spirit of her dead lover. High quality commercial fiction''.
Top edge of text block a trifle dusty, neat owner's name in ink at upper edge of front free endpaper, else a fine copy. Nice copies of the first edition of this book are uncommon.
