Mary Linn Roby: Dig A Narrow Grave

Dig A Narrow Grave by Mary Linn Roby was published in March 1971 by Signet. Gothic romances were very popular in the 1970's. This story is about Paula, called to help a family where one was a psychotic killer!

Allan Kass shows our heroine at the edge of the woods where we see the gloomy mansion behind her. What I like about these is that we get to see Allan's earliest cover illustrations but also see how he doesn't veer too far from what other artists were illustrating for this genre. Allan didn't illustrate many gothics but I always look for his signature on the cover just to make sure!
