LORD BYRON'S NOVEL: THE EVENING LAND.
[New York: HarperCollins Publishers, Inc., 2005]. Octavo, pictorial wrappers. Advance copy (uncorrected proof) of the first edition. "Crowley's premise is a simple one. In the fall of 1813 -- a little more than two years before his wife left him (because of incest, attempted sodomy, "affairs with boys when he was in Greece" or some other impropriety) and he departed from England for good -- Byron claimed he had begun a novel but burned it "because the scene ran into reality." Crowley conjures Byron's lost novel, phoenix-like, from the ashes." - Christopher Benfey, NY Times book review, 6/19/05.

THE EMPEROR OF EVIL.
New York: Frederick A. Stokes Company, 1937. Octavo, pp. [i-vi] vii-viii [ix-x] [1] 2-302, original black cloth, front and spine stamped in orange. First edition. The second mystery novel featuring detective Vee (Vivian) Brown who takes on the Black Death organization. Daly was an important contributor to Black Mask and published stories into the 1950s. He influence can be seen in many writers who followed him. "Daly’s contribution to the hardboiled genre was indeed monumental; far more than simply being the first at bat. And his impact was felt far beyond the private eye field alone. The Shadow, The Spider, The Phantom Detective—all the famous masked avengers of the pulps were merely gussied up versions of Race Williams. Daly took the two-gun American Hero from the wooly plains of the West and transplanted him in New York. He allowed his hero to retain all those traditional fantasy concepts of what the American Hero is and has been since the days of Cooper’s Natty Bumppo, and he gave him the desire and ability to back up his code of individualism, his distrust of authority and his interest in Justice over Legality, with a pair of smoking .44s." from "In Defense of Carroll John Daly" - Steve Mertz in The Mystery FANcier, May 1978 (Vol. 2, No. 3). Hubin, pp. 210-211.
