The Cadaver of Gideon Wyck
Laing Alexander
One of the greatest crime and horror novels ever written, this long unavailable work has a new introduction by William Hjortsberg. This is the complete novel, not the more common abridged edition. This new edition also includes three bonus essays by Alexander Laing. Signed by William Hjortsberg.
Strange mysteries abound in a small Maine town. Why did the brilliant, but cruel, Dr. Gideon Wyck perform an unnecessary amputation on one of his patients? Why does that patient now insist that black devils are trying to steal his soul? What is behind the series of monster babies being born to apparently normal, healthy women? And when Wyck is found dead under peculiar and inexplicable circumstances, who is responsible--and why?
