Mystery and Crime White, Ethel Lina: Wax (1935): V1

[Pulpmeister]

Ethel Lina White (1876-1944) took up writing books in the late 1920s, first trying mainstream novels, and then turning too slightly gothic thrillers from 1931.

Sonia Thompson, a young journalist, is determined to get to the bottom of the strange happenings at the small town Riverpool waxworks. So she resolves to spend a night there alone. Surrounded by gruesome wax figures of madmen and murderers in the evil chamber where someone has already met his death, Sonia suddenly feels terror grip her. For slowly, ever so slowly, the horrible wax figures seem to be coming to life

Original book covers are not easy to come by and may still be copyright in some cases. I have made up a generic cover employing a vignette from a photograph of Ms White taken in the 1920s, and the rest is typography.
