This elusive volume, written in Mr. Hall's youth, has been unobtainable for over fifty years. Only one limited edition was ever issued, and when occasional copies appear on the shelves of antiquarian book dealers they command a substantial premium.
Usually categorized as fantasy fiction or science fiction by these dealers, the collection of tales contained in Shadow Forms was actually used by Mr. Hall as a vehicle for portraying some of the occult mysteries of life under the guise of entertaining fantasy.
This new limited edition contains six previously unpublished illustrations prepared long ago for the reissue of the book by J. Augustus Knapp, illustrator of Mr. Hall'' classic book, The Secret Teachings of All Ages.
