The Cancer of Superstition is coming March 24

Exciting news! David Haversat's 1878 Press Co. will be publishing Houdini's The Cancer of Superstition next month. You heard me right. The Cancer of Superstition is finally coming to print! Below are details.


99 Years in the Making - The Wait is Over! 
The Cancer of Superstition is a book Houdini was writing at the time of his death with C. M. Eddy Jr. and HP Lovecraft. A week before Houdini died on Halloween of 1926, he was in communication with C.M. Eddy Jr. and was enthusiastic about the project's completion. However, as Houdini's condition worsened at Grace Hospital, his wife Bess sent Eddy and Lovecraft a telegram telling them to stop The Cancer of Superstition

Nearly 100 years later, the COMPLETE manuscript in the archives of C.M. Eddy's grandson has surfaced! With special arrangements with Alchemy Productions, 1878 Press Co. is proud to announce the March 24, 2025 release of Houdini's Cancer of Superstition!

  • Foreword by Sammy Cortino.
  • Featuring Houdini artifacts from the collection of David Haversat.
  • Release Date - Houdini's Birthday: March 24th.

  2. Doesn't this mean there are two manuscripts? The one sold at Potter and the copy found by Eddy's grandson?
