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.
Excellent! I’ve purchased some of the books from 1878 and they are all high quality. Really looking forward to this
ReplyDeleteIndeed. David Haversat does great work.
DeleteDoesn't this mean there are two manuscripts? The one sold at Potter and the copy found by Eddy's grandson?
ReplyDeleteIt does.
