''Lest Darkness Fall'' is an alternate history science fiction novel written in 1939 by author L. Sprague de Camp. The book is often considered one of the best examples of the alternate history genre; it is certainly one of the earliest and most influential. Alternate history author Harry Turtledove has said it sparked his interest in the genre as well as his desire to study Byzantine history. ==Publication history== It was first published as a short story in ''Unknown'' #10, December 1939. It was published as a complete novel by Henry Holt and Company in 1941 and reprinted by both Galaxy Publishing and Prime Press in 1949. The first British edition was published in hardcover by Heinemann in 1955. The first paperback edition was published by Pyramid Books in February 1963 and reprinted in August 1969. A later paperback edition was issued by Ballantine Books in August 1974 and reprinted in 1975, 1979 and 1983; the Ballantine edition was also issued in hardcover by the Science Fiction Book Club in April 1979 and reprinted in 1996. The importance of the work was recognized by its inclusion in The Easton Press's The Masterpieces of Science Fiction series in 1989. The book has also been collected with David Drake's novella ''To Bring the Light'' in ''Lest Darkness Fall and To Bring The Light'' (Baen Books, 1996), with other works by de Camp in ''Years in the Making: the Time-Travel Stories of L. Sprague de Camp'' (NESFA Press, 2005),〔 and with works by other authors in ''Lest Darkness Fall and Related Stories'' (Arc Manor, 2011).
