Publisher?s black cloth with titles in gilt and green, green top edge; original dust jacket (loss to dust jacket spine, toning). FIRST EDITION. Gresham would later claim that the genesis of the novel came from conversations he had with a former carnival worker while they were serving as volunteers with Loyalist forces during the Spanish Civil War. The first and most successful of Gresham?s novels, Nightmare Alley was adapted into a major motion picture in 1947 and again in 2021; the latter was nominated for four Oscars at the 94th Academy Awards.
