Hi, folks. While everyone in the world seems to know that the movie
version of this novel referred to the Death's-Head Sphinx Moth, I
have now heard two different versions regarding what was in the
original novel; one person has told me it was the Death's-Head moth,
as in the movie, but another has said that in the original novel it
was the Black Witch moth. Does anyone here actually have a copy of
this 1988 novel - preferrably an edition which definitively pre-dates
the 1991 movie - and can check which of these is *actually* the case?
Thanks,
