Deluxe first edition. Special limited edition of 200 signed copies. This is copy #18. SIGNED by the author and the introducer, China Mieville. Fine in a fine dust jacket; housed in the publisher's slipcase (also fine). A collection of dark fantasy novellas and novelettes, a short story and an essay. "Lucius Shepard is a grand master of dark fantasy, famed for his baroque yet utterly contemporary visions of existential subversion and hallucinatory collapse. In Dagger Key, his fifth major story collection, Shepard confronts hard-bitten loners and self-deceiving operators with the shadowy emptiness within themselves and the insinuating darkness without, to ends sardonic and terrifying."--Fantastic Fiction. Octavo. 473 pages.
