99 years in the making - the wait is over! The Cancer of Superstition is a book Houdini was writing at the time of his death with C. M. Eddy Jr. and HP Lovecraft.  A week before Houdini died on Halloween of 1926, he was in communication with C.M. Eddy Jr. and was enthusiastic about the project's completion. However, as Houdini's condition worsened at Grace Hospital, his wife Bess sent Eddy and Lovecraft a telegram telling them to stop The Cancer of Superstition. Nearly 100 years later the COMPLETE manuscript in the archives of C.M Eddy's grandson has surfaced! With special arrangements with Alchemy Productions, 1878 Press Co. is proud to announce the March 24, 2025 release Houdini's Cancer of Superstition!
