NAPLES is a fine press edition of one of Avram Davidson’s darkest tales, originally published in the first Shadows anthology edited by Charles L. Grant. NAPLES won the World Fantasy award for short fiction in 1979, the same year Jorge Luis Borges was named the recipient of the World Fantasy Life Achievement award ; Davidson received that award in 1986. Designed by Jerry Kelly and printed by hand at the Kelly-Winterton Press.

Michael Dirda wrote of Naples, “as mysterious and unsettling as a Robert Aickman ghost story.”

A beautiful little book.
