The sinister house, deadly secrets, a poor but spirited heroine, and that missing relative...The lure of dark and nostalgic 1960's & 1970's Romantic/Gothic Suspense novels has now inspired these nail-biting book covers. This unique coloring book features 50 original, single-sided illustrations. 50 designs that recall past masters of the genre such as Victoria Holt and Dorothy Eden. Be transported to a shadowy world of intrigue and lurking danger. There are stately manor houses and dark nights illuminated by a hand-held lantern. Menace also goes abroad, to Italy and Greece, for example. Pages are titled, and here is a sampling: "Terror At Santorini," "Hands of Terror," "The Ides of October," "Opera Phantasm," and "The Tiger Rose." A bracing cup of tea is optional (beware of that unfriendly housekeeper dressed in black bombazine. Brew the tea yourself). Gather the colored pencils or markers, and let these cool images spark your creativity. Color a book cover and share it with a friend. Let the dramas begin
