The Ghost in the Mirror (Lewis Barnavelt), The Vengeance of
the Witchfinder (Lewis Barnavelt), The Drum, the Doll, and the Zombie Johnny
Dixon), and The Doom of the Haunted Opera (Lewis Barnavelt), by John Bellairs.
With at least a Frontispiece by Edward Gorey.
Credited to Bellairs, but “Completed by Brad Strickland” from
Bellairs’s notes and outlines. I’m glad to see Lewis again, but not under these
circumstances. Strickland does a fair job of mimicking the style, but he
descends sometimes into a too formulaic technique. All Puffin books.
Ranking: Keepers.
File Code: Sham Series Fiction. Fantasy. Softcovers.
