Falling Angel by William Hjortsberg is a spellbinding novel that masterfully blends murder, mystery, and the occult. It follows the journey of Harry Angel, a tough New York private eye, whose routine missing-persons case spirals into a fiendish nightmare filled with voodoo, black magic, dizzying peril, and violent death. Often regarded as the greatest American supernatural horror novel of the 20th century, Falling Angel pits Angel against the most fearsome adversary a detective could ever face.
This particular edition, published by Centipede Press in 2011, is a collector's gem. The hardcover is limited to just 300 copies, each signed by Hjortsberg, and is renowned for its high-quality production. It features a new foreword by Ridley Scott, an introduction by the late James Crumley, an afterword by Hjortsberg, and a bonus short story. Additionally, it includes a letter from Stephen King, published in its complete form for the first time. The book is bound in cloth with a dust jacket, adorned with Stanislaw Zagorski's original wraparound artwork printed against a striking black background with spot varnish.
