Item #30314 YONDER. Charles Beaumont, Charles Leroy Nutt.

YONDER.

New York: Bantam Books, [1958]. First edition. Bantam Books A1759. Collects 15 stories, two of which had appeared in Playboy (one of the top fiction markets of the day), and one short screenplay. The author attained success quickly but was struck down in his early 30s by a mysterious illness that aged him grotesquely. His output nevertheless remains impressive. While the publisher's blurb compares him to Poe, Saki and John Collier, it seems safe at least to class him with (to mention true comparables) Fritz Leiber, Avram Davidson, Ray Bradbury and Frederic Brown. A few edge rubs and tiny dings, a nearly fine to fine unread copy. (30314). Item #30314
