INSCRIBED by author on title page: "For E.D.-- / Right here in / the belly of / the beast-- / Best wishes, / K.W. Jeter" Almost fine first printing in very good dust jacket with slight edge wear. Mild fading to board edges. No chips and not price-clipped. No remainder markings.

New York: St. Martin's Press, [1991]. Octavo, pictorial wrappers. A near fine copy. Advance copy (uncorrected proof) of the first edition. "For reasons unknown -- though a government conspiracy is rumored -- part of Southern California has been warped into the Madlands, a place where dreams, particularly nightmares, come true . This compelling example of postmodernist SF reads very much like a bad acid trip and owes an obvious debt to both the cyberpunks and Raymond Chandler. A more subtle connection may be with the work of Barry Malzberg, who is Jeter's only equal when it comes to bleakness of the spirit." - Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-570.
