MASSIE, Chris. Death Goes Hunting, incomplete manuscript draft, entirely handwritten in black ink, commencing from p. 63 [midway through Chapter VII] to p. 80 [end of Chapter VIII], then complete from Chapter X to Chapter XX [the end], a total of 140pp., housed in contemporary card covers titled in ink, [c. 1953]. Together with the author's incomplete manuscript of "Christine Self" [an unpublished novel], entirely handwritten, 1-191, 237-311pp., housed in contemporary card covers, [c. 1940-50], and an unrelated typed sheet (presumably part of a pitch to the publishers), in which Massie states, "if wartime difficulties can be overcome, I earnestly suggest that this is the book which should follow Corridor of Mirrors. It is much more ambitious and treats of the most vital problem in human life." (3) ❧ A now obscure author who was hailed by contemporary reviewers as "an uncommonly gifted writer" [Peter Quennell], and whose talent was championed in the press, "he sees life with the eyes of a poet. Often his stories have a touch of the macabre about them, always they go a way of their own." [Ralph Straus, Sunday Times]. Despite finding success with film adaptations of his works, most notably Corridor of Mirrors (described by Faber & Faber as "one of the strangest novels we have ever published"), Massie's name has since mysteriously vanished, and first editions of his published works have become increasingly scarce
