A Penguin Paperback of Bowen's The Demon Lover with a painted collage-type cover of a woman in war-time in London.
A particularly lurid paperback cover for Jackson's The Demon Lover with a close-up on a terrorized face.
On the #SpinThisHouse phonograph: "The House Carpenter", an American folk ballad about the dangers of infidelity. Known across the pond as the "Daemon Lover" it inspired #GothicHorror stories by both Shirley Jackson and Elizabeth Bowen.
