The Dark Chamber: Reprints

The 1927 first edition of The Dark Chamber had only one printing. The book has been reprinted three times since in paperback.  The cover artists for the first two are uncredited (if anyone recognizes who the artists are, please let me know!), while Daniel Govar did the cover for the Cold Spring Press edition, which also has extra material, including an introduction by myself (covering, among other topics, the influence of the book on H.P. Lovecraft's circle) and as an afterword a reprint of Cline's 1927 essay "Logogaedaly" on literary style and word choice. I am hopeful that the book can be reprinted soon.

Popular Library edition, undated but October 1972
Pinnacle Books, June 1983
Cold Spring Press, September 2005
