Continuing my gander at vintage Curtis Book covers I've gone off-piste tonight with this one, Twinkle Twinkle Killer Kane by William Peter Blatty.
Blatty is of course famous for writing The Exorcist, which went on to become the scariest film of all time according to some critics.
I haven't read Killer Kane but I do have a copy in my vintage book collection. It has a different cover - below - to the Curtis copy above. Curtis focus on the space theme which must feature strongly in the book. Those that have read it will be able to relate to this.
My own book has a cover depicting a surreal house and grounds with a General's star as a flower. It reminds me of another book cover I have in my collection, The House on the Borderland, yet another I haven't read!
Have you read Twinkle Twinkle Killer Kane?
Do you collect books?
Sadly I don't have Blatty's novel, Twinkle Twinkle Killer Kane, Woodsy, but I do have the movie adaptation on dvd - The Ninth Configuration (1980).
ReplyDeleteFirst time I saw it was back in the 80s, on VHS.
I really like this sort of story, so I can only imagine the novel would make a brilliant read :)
Never seen the film Tone but its on my bucket list. Interesting that it has a different name as the book. The Ninth Configuration sounds like the occult.
