First printing (full number line on copyright page). Black cloth over orange boards with gilt writing on spine. Light edge wear to bottom, else fine-no marks or wear. Dust jacket protected in mylar cover; age toning and few creases to top and bottom edges, else fine. Very nice collector's copy. "Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's 'Fall of the House of Usher', McCammon asks, what if the Usher story hadn't ended with the deaths of Roderick and Madeline over a Century ago? What if they'd had a brother to carry the family name-and infamous legacy-into the future? Set in North Carolina in the present, Usher's Passing begins weaving its spell with the arrival of Rix Usher at the deathbed of his father. The powerful patriarch must hand over the family scepter to one of his three children. But whoever is chosen stands to inherit not only the lucrative business of destruction...not only the vast, opulent estate that legend says is haunted by nightmarish creatures, but all the horrifying secrets of the Usher family's mad heritage."
