A Creature Of the Night by Fergus Hume First Edition Sampson Low, Marston & Company 1891. London. A VG copy with no loose or damaged pages. Card covers are still very much intact. Spine complete, if a little chipped.

In the moonlit shadows of late-nineteenth-century Verona, young Englishman Hugo Cravatti wanders into an ancient graveyard, where he beholds a spectral woman—Giulietta—emerging from a tomb like a vampire of old. Drawn inexorably to a crumbling mansion, he spies a Borgia-esque murder, thrusting him into a labyrinth of passion, jealousy, and hidden scandals. As the enigmatic "creature of the night" ensnares him in her web of aristocratic intrigue and forbidden love, Hugo grapples with ghosts of the past and a ruthless killer. Hume's atmospheric Gothic enigma, laced with Italian romance and supernatural dread, unveils the dark heart of Verona's eternal enigmas.
