The Machine In Ward Eleven.

CHARLES WILLEFORD

Publication: Belmont Books, 1963, New York

First edition. PBO. Belmont 90-286. Fine, bright, unread copy in pictorial wrappers. A collection of six short stories filled with a sense of the macabre. Each story stands alone, and each has a theme of madness and disillusionment running through it ... A brilliant film director goes insane when his artistic vision is curtailed by the demands of reality; a cocky air force pilot commits a senseless murder and finds himself assigned to the mountains of Tibet as an indirect consequence; a recovering alcoholic discovers that giving up drinking is possibly the worst thing he's ever done. A wonderful collection.
