HELLFLOWER.

Smith, George O[liver].

New York: Abelard Press, [1953]. Octavo, cloth. First edition. Although set in the future on Venus, the tone of the novel is hard-boiled noir, complete with a lurid plot element: a surefire aphrodisiac derived from a flower grown on that planet. Mild spotting to top edge of text block, a fine copy in fine dust jacket with a bit of rubbing to black ink at spine ends and upper front corner tip. (#169046) (29760). Item #29760
