It’s the Halloween season and what better time is there to apply for a job as the governess at an isolated mansion or to learn the secrets of a prominent but mysterious family?  This is the season to chase voices in the night and stand outside in the rain while a dark, shadowy structure looms behind you.

Need help getting in the mood for your gothic explorations?  Don’t worry!  I’ve got your back with these covers!

Yesterday, I was looking for a paperback cover that would go well with Fat Thursday.  I couldn’t find one so I went with this one instead.  This cover was also used for a book called Desire Island so I guess it’s possible that De Fatale Sex-Bom is just the international version of Desire Island.  The cover was done by George Ziel.

This frightening cover is from 1975. The cover is scary because we don’t know what the woman is reacting to but it’s also scary because it appears that she was driving her car barefoot. Maybe that’s a Capricorn thing. I really want to read this book and find out.

Like yesterday artwork, this one was done by one of my favorite artists, George Ziel.

The 70s were a big decade for paperback about women fleeing from castles and mansions. This one came out in 1973. Usually, the women on covers like this were drawn to either look like they were scared or confused. I like that Marra looks like she’s defiant, as if no one is going to run her out of her castle.
