Medusa. A Story of Mystery, and Ecstasy, & Strange Horror. By E.H. Visiak [Pseudonym]. With an Original Letter Signed by Visiak.

London: Victor Gollancz Ltd. 1929. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover. Original black cloth, spine lettered in green. 286 pp. Minor browning to endpapers, a fine copy. Laid in is an Autograph Letter Signed by Visiak, on his letterhead from 30 Cavendish Rd, N.W.6. dated Feb 8, 1935. Addressed "Dear Mr. Miller", it states: "How very kind of you to send us the delightful little almanac - which hangs nicely on the wall! We have never forgotten you, you may be sure, and those pleasant visits and talks, which we shall hope some day to renew. With kind wishes to you and Mrs Miller from us both, Very sincerely yours, E.H. Visiak". The letter is folded several times but is in attractive, very good condition.
¶ Supernatural horror novel. "The tale moves gradually, in a slow crescendo, from its beginnings in a normal-seeming nineteenth-century England through adventures at sea and finally into a literal pit of fantasy - a vast circular hole occupied by the eponymous sea monster which eats sexually aware men alive. The protagonist is a young boy who remains sexually innocent, though haunted by other guilts: he survives while his companions perish." - Clute and Grant, The Encyclopedia of Fantasy (1997). "Degenerate survivors of Atlantis, psychoactive rays; unspeakable horror! WEIRD!" - John Ruyle. The author, born Edward Harold Physick (1878-1972), adopted the name "E.H. Visiak" after 1910. He wrote literary criticism, poetry and three novels, of which MEDUSA is his outstanding triumph. Fine .
