Yeah, I miss the days of the painted covers.

I have about half of them and have gone out and found the old paperback covers for them* If you want any of the covers, let me know.
*Except for the first book. Undertaker's Moon has a MUCH better cover than the old Zebra Moon of the Werewolf cover. |

Here's an interesting article/review [SPOILERS] on her:
https://mises.org/library/auctioneer-joan-samson I bought this a while back, but haven't read it. I remember the cover. I was doing some research, after reading your post, and saw how the back cover is a nice addition to the front cover.

Thanks for the image of the back cover. I love off the wall design like that. |

Here's the first paragraph of the article. NO spoilers: "Joan Samson was a Depression baby, born in 1937. She died of cancer in 1976, when she was still in her 30s. In 1975, the year before her death, she published her only novel, The Auctioneer. This seems to be just about the sum total of what is publicly known regarding Joan Samson — and that, I'm here to tell you, is a damn shame, because that one novel of hers, The Auctioneer, is a real humdinger. And it would be nice to be able to tell you a bit more about its author before I go on to build the rest of my article around the novel itself." |

It is a good book but grim with that despair quality through out and a slower pace. Definitely unique. The not-a-good-feel is not the normal not-a-good-feel of horror books - more of that despair life can be pointless kind of thing. Unless I'm just overly sensitive lol |

I think I'll try and read Undertaker's Moon after The Auctioneer. |

I read it in December. A different type of werewolf story and I liked it. I love Ronald Kelly usually though.

I haven't read the second yet. The Halloween Store and Other Tales of All Hallows' Eve he wrote in 2020 as a short anthology and I highly recommend it. He aludes to FEAR in a few of the stories as tie-in's kind of. |

He left horror when the bottom fell out in the (late?) '80s, but returned a number of years ago with a vengeance. Although I have not read Twelve Gauge, at one time I owned the Zebra edition with the original title of Father's little Helper. I'm going to buy the edition you mention, since it' only 99 cents. THANK YOU! Check this out. Such memories: https://picclick.com/Zebra-Horror-Pa...733226324.html |
