E-001: Putnam. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1957. Hardcover. Hardcover. 8vo. G. P. Putnam's Sons. 1957. 234 pgs. First Edition/First Printing. DJ has shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities (DJ has lightly chipping present to the spine ends). No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks, binding tight and solid, boards very lightly rubbed and worn. When The Hunger and Other Stories (1957) appeared, it heralded the arrival of Charles Beaumont (1929-1967) as an important and highly original new voice in American fiction. Although he is best known today for his scripts for television and film, including several classic episodes of The Twilight Zone, Beaumont is being rediscovered as a master of weird tales, and this, his first published collection, contains some of his best. Ranging in tone from the chilling Gothic horror of "Miss Gentilbelle," where an insane mother dresses her son up as a girl and slaughters his pets, to deliciously dark humor in tales like "Open House" and "The Infernal Bouillabaisse," where murderers' plans go disastrously awry, these seventeen stories demonstrate Beaumont's remarkable talent and versatility. This new edition of The Hunger and Other Stories, the first in more than fifty years, includes a new introduction by Dr. Bernice M. Murphy, who argues for reevaluation of Beaumont alongside the other greats of the genre, including Shirley Jackson, Ray Bradbury, and Richard Matheson. E-01; 8vo 8" - 9" tall ., Putnam, 1957, 3<
