Someone in the Dark

August Derleth · Arkham House, Sauk City · 1941

Census claim CONFIRMED. The Arkham House printing of 1941 (Sauk City) is the true and only first — the collection is an American original, and no contemporaneous British edition is recorded in the sources consulted, so no UK/US or original-language precedence question arises. The census description of it as the second Arkham House book at 1,115 copies is corroborated.
