The Bad Seed by William March

TRADE PAPERBACK [1997] ECCO BOOKS 

Beautiful trade paperback reissue with frosted matte cover, and in very good condition. 

Cover and binding are like new.  Inside paper has some discoloration, faint lines appear on margins of paper, from what looks like a printing defect.  And there are two extremely tiny dye stains on flyleaf page.   Otherwise, appears unread.  

Now reissued – William March's 1954 classic thriller that's as chilling, intelligent and timely as ever before. This paperback reissue includes a new P.S. section with author interviews, insights, features, suggested reading and more.  

What happens to ordinary families into whose midst a child serial killer is born? This is the question at the center of William March's classic thriller. After its initial publication in 1954, the book went on to become a million–copy bestseller, a wildly successful Broadway show, and a Warner Brothers film. The spine–tingling tale of little Rhoda Penmark had a tremendous impact on the thriller genre and generated a whole perdurable crop of creepy kids. Today, The Bad Seed remains a masterpiece of suspense that's as chilling, intelligent, and timely as ever before.
