It's funny how memories of childhood reading can be very hazy but then suddenly very vivid about certain details.Furrowed Middlebrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065110409019861653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595702824833504762.post-47730703392759372482018-07-31T07:46:43.918-07:002018-07-31T07:46:43.918-07:00I think you've guessed correctly, Rich.

As s...Oh gosh, Scott, there was a flashback for me. As soon as I saw the title The Night of the Good Children, I saw a different cover picture in my mind: a young woman running from peril with a child in her arms; a different title, and the information, "originally published as The Night of the Good Children. I also recalled thinking I wouldn't have bought the book (likely from Scholastic Book Club, or TAB, when I was perhaps 12) if it had been sold under its original title, very sophisticated and grown-up sounding.<br /><br />Well, there you go.... all that memory was confirmed as soon as I scrolled down a bit. Yes! One Night of Terror!<br /><br />I don't recall the story at all, um, perhaps a babysitter trying to protect her charge?Susan Dhttp://www.susandaly.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595702824833504762.post-46200715996918415222018-07-27T17:45:14.594-07:002018-07-27T17:45:14.594-07:00I'm assuming you'll have a writer who is s...I'm assuming you'll have a writer who is still alive, then?Rich Hortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07659613066689174738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595702824833504762.post-31668851343592353632018-07-27T09:16:21.827-07:002018-07-27T09:16:21.827-07:00The "occasionally wondrously bad cover art&qu...The "occasionally wondrously bad cover art" is also so wonderful in its own (occasionally cheesey and tasteless) way, though, Scott! Love it!<br />Speaking of cover art, the only author herein I know is Vera Caspary, and I HVE one of those Bedelias - the one with the lilac and pink cover art.<br />I know it's not actually cover art, but NATURALLY, Jane Russell in"The Young Widow," - well now - THAT is art! HA!<br />Love these columns, Scott! I may have to get Bedelia down and reread it.<br />Tom Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
