Hard cover, 12 mo., in publisher's gray cloth with art deco design to both front and rear boards, in red, white and green, title in red. Top edge gilt, others untrimmed, 130 pp. A "modern" tale of the unravelling of an unhappy society marriage with an unusual, horror twist, penned by a daughter of "Chicago's Millionaire Socialist," (former president of Illinois Steel,) Orrin W. Potter. A news-magazine piece on the family appearing in Chicago's Sunday Inter Ocean (9/29/1901) describes both of Potter's daughters being "authors of books of wide circulation and of advocating his socialist ideas in fiction." Mrs. Daniels complains of her published works being "suppressed through the interference of capital." She is perhaps better known for the 1902 novel, "Eshrek the Oppressor." (Her sister, Margaret Potter, has a couple of works of supernatural genre listed in Bleiler.) Condition: Very Good. Age toned, with owner's signature in biro. Clean. Scarce.
