Babs Deal - The Crystal Mouse

Another one for you, Dem - as, I think, Justin has said previously, this one's really more of a thriller (categorised simply as 'fiction' on the spine as you may just about be able to make out) but the cover bills it as "A Novel of terror and suspense" and, as mentioned elsewhere, it was included at one point in NEL's 'special 9-book Horror pack' alongside the likes of Guy N. Smith, Robert Lory & Errol Lecale, so I reckon it deserves to be counted.

Just realised that I've managed to cut off the photo credit from the bottom of the back cover - you wouldn't believe how long it took me to get that bloody cleaver lined up! Cover photography is by Ron Alexander for the record.

Don't have Elliott O’Donnell's A Casebook of Ghosts, Vol. 1 but I can do you Vol. 2 if you should need it. I'm sure Rog posted the cover & blurb for Duel For A Dark Angel last year sometime - is that not still around?

P.S. Can you read that blurb alright? I was going to type it all out but there's ****ing loads of it!

Ha ha - why'd you think I scanned the back pages - for completeness sake ?!

I've just picked up a very nice unread-looking copy of:

Casebook of Ghosts Volume 1 by Elliott O'Donnell (1971)

(Apparently first published by W Foulsham in 1969 but this is the first NEL paperback edition)

I'm really stuck for a scanner for the next couple of weeks but I hope the blurb is some recompense:

True stories by the world's greatest ghost hunter - terrifying reports on some very real ghosts.

Lying on the floor, stretched out in the last convulsions of death, was a big black cat, maimed and bleeding.

What did this omen mean? Why was it followed by a hideous laugh resounding through the rafters of the mansions?Only Elliot O'Donnell's steel-nerved detective work dare probe this mystery of the macabre.

O'Donnell's unique career, a lifetime spent investigating haunted houses in vigils alone and with celebrities culminates in this book. Names are named, facts are scrutinised, and all the twilight horrors of the screaming Banshee, the floating head, the eyeless woman and the ghost of Bedlam are exposed.

Fourteen chilling case histories by a fearless ghost hunter.



I'll put up the contents and my comments on the 60s & 70s antho section - unless Mr D would prefer them elsewhere?
