Sologub, Feodor [pseud: Feodor Kuzmich Teternikov]. The Old House.

London: Martin Secker, 1915.
First edition. 8vo. Publisher’s green cloth titled in black to spine and front board. Minor bumping and edgewear, fading to spine, a very good, strong copy. Internally clean, top edge green, pages untrimmed. A collection of short stories and a novella of sorts, many with weird, surreal or fairy tale elements (it includes “The Invoker of The Beast”), from Teternikov, Russian Symbolist, poet, novelist and all round socio-political psychopomp. If it can be said that the purpose of the weird is to warn, then he said it. Just plain scarce.
