The Night of the Hunter

(no dust jacket, but encased in a nice-looking facsimile reproduction of the original first edition jacket; see 2nd image posted with this listing) [minor wear to the lower tips, a bit of dust-soiling to the top of the text block]. Grubb's lyrically terrifying first novel, about "two small children saddled with a dark and dreadful heritage," was also the basis for Charles Laughton's first (and last) film as a director, a feverish piece of Southern Gothic cinema that won't leave you alone for quite a while after you've seen it. If ever. (NOTE again that this book bears a FACSIMILE dust jacket, which has not been factored in to our pricing.)
