Rod Serling did a terrific screenplay of this book for the Frank Sinatra movie of the same name…a real guilty pleasure piece of hokum…Jack Finney also wrote The Body Snatchers which was made into a wonderful film, Invasion Of The Body Snatchers directed by Don Siegel.
And two different covers for another book made into a great movie…
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
Odd coincidence department - the Bride and I were discussing "Gaslight" only yesterday. To be exact, the word's current usage versus it's original meaning, and how this came about. I told her about the play that has been filmed more than once, but didn't know that it had been novelised.
I note one of our own has his name credited above, Christopher Wood.

Your powers of observation do you credit, Mr. Potts!
I wondered if you would spot that, I really should have known that you would 🍸
These two are always worth looking at…

A complete random selection…
And this one is filed under sleaze…or is it smut…or who actually cares?
That last one is filed under…my pillow, so the Mrs doesn’t find it 😁

A selection of noir pulps…
The good old days of Two Complete Novels! I still have one though it's SF rather than noir.
Of the above I've read only one, the Chandler of course. McGivern's good though, isn't he CHB?
Spine-chillers from the late, great Guy N Smith…
I’d no idea he’d written so many…I’ve read a couple of his ‘Crabs’ books…enjoyable enough…
I’ve read a handful of McGivern and can rate him highly.
Never read any of his. I've seen them on the shelves, of course, since I love perusing second hand bookshops (the best kind).
Good grief. Not much left to the imagination there.
Sci-fi and horror covers…
Some nice pulp covers there.
Witchcaft…
Noir…
Horror collections…
