First paperback edition, first impression, published by Gold Medal Books in August 1954 and featuring cover art by Stan Melzoff. This is a very good copy.

Some rubbing to the corners. One neat name.
A classic of vampire literature and modern horror by one of the great talents in the field. Basis for three films: Last Man on Earth, Omega Man and I Am Legend. A most uncommon edition.
