I much prefer the tag lines to the titles.
ReplyDelete"Killer takes all!" is pretty good...
but my favourite is: "Startling...Shocking...Hilarious!"

"A Blonde and Her Man" is a much better title than The Pale Blonde of Sands Street. That said, I think no one beat News Stand Library for tag lines. Sadly, their pitches were too long to be titles. "HER ASBESTOS HEART BEAT TIME TO THE DEVIL'S DANCE" is excellent, but my dirty mind prefers "They knelt at his feet and bargained for his love!"
DeleteJust Googled NSL. Am loving these covers.

"Ken McLeod" was a pseudonym used by my father, Kimball McIlroy: http://www.librarything.com/work/6450192
