The Wolfen

The census claim is confirmed: William Morrow, New York, 1978 is the true first of Strieber's debut novel. A first British edition was published the same year by Hodder & Stoughton, London (ISBN 0-340-23532-2) and is separately collected as the UK first, but it follows the Morrow printing — Strieber is American and the book was a US origination. The 1992 UK reissue (Melvyn Grant cover) and the later illustrated Artist Edition of 1,000 copies signed by François Vaillancourt in a grey embossed slipcase are "first thus," not firsts.
