Octavo, pp. [i-vi] vii-xvii [xviii] xix-xxi [xxii] [1-2] 3-309 [310-314: blank], publisher's black cloth, front and spine panels stamped in silver, fore and bottom edges rough trimmed. First edition, first printing. The first novel of "The Nightmare Has Triplets" trilogy (continuing with SMITH and SMIRE) that attempts to explore the world of dreams. One of his few novels that are not part of the Jurgen Biography. "The central character, in three different 'states of being,' undertakes an odyssey through the worlds of dream, myth and history in search of a fulfillment which (unsurprisingly) he never finds. Quirkier and more self-indulgent than the books of the Biography; the lack of discipline succeeds only in producing a muddle." - Barron (ed), Fantasy Literature 3-69. "It [the trilogy] is indeed a successfully misty and dreamlike (if slightly inconsequential) work." - Clute and Grant (eds), The Encyclopedia of Fantasy, p. 157. Bleiler, The Guide to Supernatural Fiction 330. Locke, A Spectrum of Fantasy, p. 45. Bleiler (1978), p. 37. Reginald 02411. Silver title lettering on spine panel a bit dull, mild rubs to spine ends, several corner tips a bit soft, a very good copy. (#176839)
