Basis for the 1983 film by director David Cronenberg, starring Christopher Walken. Viking officially released this work in August 1979. First printing, with "First published in 1979 by The Viking Press" and no additional printings on the copyright page. Underwood & Miller 8a. Anatomy of Wonder II:600. Horror Literature 4-130.
