THE CORPSE NEXT DOOR by John Farris Graphic Books, First Printing, 1956 Condition: Good+ Dean Kootz has called John Farris "a legend among thriller writers" and other big names in the genre echo that sentiment. But, like many of them, he started his career humbly, writing paperback originals. This virtually forgotten Graphic mystery was his first book. Fairly heavy chipping on the spine top, some other spine/corner wear and some corner creasing. The pages have yellowing and slight bending of some corners; o/w unmarked and securely bound.
