To walk the night william sloane7/7/2023 ![]() When your favorite college professor dies under mysterious circumstances, what’s the first thing you should do? If you answered, ‘let myself be mysteriously seduced by his strange, cryptic widow’, then you win! That’s the relatively straightforward premise of the first of these two short novels. The vintage book covers shown here may not be the most accurate representation of the contents, but I couldn’t resist…I mean, look at them! Containing both 1937’s To Walk the Night and 1939’s The Edge of Running Water, this volume handsomely reintroduces readers to Sloane’s unfairly forgotten genre mash-up novels (before a genre mash-up was a thing). ![]() While it would have been preferable for William Sloane’s only two novels to each have their own separate reprinting, a New York Review Books reissue of the omnibus edition – The Rim of Morning – isn’t too shabby. ![]()
