Eight short stories by William Faulkner selected by Saxe Cummins. He also wrote the foreword.

This is the first issue of this paperback original, featuring an aerial view of the 'main floor' of a home on the verso of the title page. This lesser-known issue point resulted from a printer's error, as the aerial room map actually belongs to ASE #827 "The Indigo Necklace" by Frances Crane.
