Julia Trevelyan:The Tower Room

The Tower Room was published by Signet in June 1979. Richard Prine brought his new wife, Jane, to Thorncroft, a gloomy isolated mansion inhabited only by his older relatives. The only person she could turn to was the handsome local doctor!

Allan Kass illustrates our heroine fleeing the mansion. This outfit is typical 1970's jumper dress with blouse. I like his touch of the long flowing gold necklace. The purple and gray colors give this an eerie feel.

Julia Trevelyan: Greythorne

Greythorne by Julia Trevelyan was published by Signet in April 1974. Suzann Hampton was invited by relatives to Greythorne but soon finds two brothers who both desire her and a house filled with dark secrets.

This is one of my favorite gothic illustrations by Allan Kass! I just love everything about it: the beautiful heroine, her bright red dress, the stormy clouds and billowing water, and the gloomy mansion. It's just gorgeous. I hope you enjoy it.
