Hey, Ruby Jean Jensen is back as well. I've never read any of her stuff, but I used to hear her name a lot. I'm always happy to see shlocky paperback horror come back.

I actually bought an omnibus collection of 3 of his novels sometime last year. (I just checked, and the collection is only $4.99.) Rockabye Baby was one of those 3 novels. I did an epub split on calibre, and added that classic cover. And Lo! It was good! Sharing space with a master (below): Last edited by Dr. Drib; 07-14-2021 at 04:19 PM. |

I subscribe to her news list. On Smashwords, you can buy her newest re-release (before it's offically available) for only $.99 cents. On Amazon, it's available as a pre-order for $2.99 Check with Smashwords on her titles. I get all of her titles that way - before they're officially released, for less than one dollar each. (Once they're released, the price is the same as Amazon.) |

I had paperbacks that was destroyed over the years because I got them so young (and irresponsible, with rabbits and dogs). still have a few but none are great condition. I used to find her stuff all the time in used bookstores....but not anymore. Anyway it looks like they have CELIA for 99 cents. I have the paperback version of this still and it was my favorites by her in memory. Dark stuff and good book about a woman escaping an abusive husband/life with the bayou - strange stuff, was always a favorite of mine by the author.

From what I learned on a podcast (The Horror Show with Brian Keene), it was believed that Ruby Jean Jensen died without an heir -- and of course without a literary estate. For that reason, her books could not be reprinted as they were in limbo. Then, it turned out that she had a daughter! As her daughter owns the rights, she was able to get the books back into print. ![]() |

5.0 out of 5 stars W.O.W. Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2019 Stupendous. Brilliant. Excellent. This should be required reading in every school. Readers will love this mesmerizing tale. I should know, for I am the author! |

Yeah, partly it's the incongruity of it obviously being a man in women's clothing, which in pop culture usually means comedy. And the blank expression on the face.
He kind of reminds me of the actor who played Drew Carey's brother ![]() Who's character was also a crossdresser ![]() ![]() Based on a true story? |
