A very rare and sought after book. David Griffith Jones’s 1966 novel Ofnadwy Ddydd (Day of Horror or Fearful Day) tells the story of a miraculous — and terrifying — event: across Britain, the dead begin rising from their graves after a devout man prays for God to resurrect them as proof against the claims of atheists. Winner of the Prose Medal in the ’64 Eisteddfod in Swansea - it is among the first examples of the modern zombie horror genre. I love the monochrome mid century modern design of the cover, which really compliments the contents of the novel. Cwmni’r Cyhoeddiadau Modern Cymreig Abercynon 1966 Welsh language Hardcover w/dustsheet, 158 pages Measures 13 x 1.5 x 18.5 cm Condition: Good: Dustcover generally faded with numerous small scuffs and tears. Internal sheets in excellent condition except a brown water stain present on pages 14-25 (pictured: does not obscure text)
