"Follow the adventures of Nifft the Lean, the master thief whose felonious appropriations and larcenous skills will lead you through the Stygian realms to challenge your most lurid fantasies and errant imaginings. Places where horror, harm, and long eerie calms flow past the traveller in endless, unpredictable succession.
Travel with the man whose long, rawboned, sticky fingers and stark length of arm will lead you down to the vermiculous grottos of the demon sea, to stand beneath the subworld's lurid sky and battle monsters who seem the spiritual distillations of human evil itself!
We invite you to the very gates of Hell and beyond..."
Good condition overall with a bit of wear and tear to the covers and spine. Yellowing to the pages. A bit of waviness to the side outer edge and right-hand side of pages.
