I don't remember Locked in Time as well - perhaps that one is due for a re-read.

I had a very love-hate relationship with Lois Duncan as a teenager, but Locked in Time was always a favorite. I don't know what happened to my copies!Jennyhttp://jennysbooks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18507492.post-26642261728605843702010-01-29T20:23:12.449-05:002010-01-29T20:23:12.449-05:00Diana - Ooh!

I'll add her to the list, thanks :)<br /><br />Angie - *highfive* Part of the fun of these old books from young adulthood is looking for "your" particular cover. Yours sounds like it was lovely :pTheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11138984974139025278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18507492.post-67850691614984423402010-01-29T16:45:12.690-05:002010-01-29T16:45:12.690-05:00Thea, *highfive* I knew you'd join me in the D...Thea, *highfive* I knew you'd join me in the Duncan love. You hit the nail on the head. No words for Lisette. She scared the holy crap out of me. Sort of like that bloody hourglass cover is...lol.<br /><br />I had a completely different cover again. And I couldn't find an image of it anywhere! Mine was a paperback with a girl in a sort of flowy white sundress and straw hat (?) standing on the lawn in the mist looking back at the house. It worked. Had the whole Southern Gothic feel down pat.<br /><br />Diana, I knew you'd be one of us, too! I loved Down a Dark Hall. I haven't read any Lockwood, either, so I should probably look her up. Stranger with my Face really creeped me out back then. It's been long enough, though, that it's fuzzy. Must revisit that one.<br /><br />Dannie, same here. Soooo creepy. And just thinking about all those neon Christopher Pike covers and spines makes me smile. :)Angiegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00353676756221692186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18507492.post-74001807078531832842010-01-29T16:03:17.866-05:002010-01-29T16:03:17.866-05:00I heart Lois Duncon.

Locked in Time wasn't really my fav, but it did succeed in scaring the pants off of me and definetly stands out as one of the creepiest I've read.

Actually, Thea, if you like DADH, you should try Cara Lockwood's YAs. Definitely have that feeling.<br /><br />SwmF though was awesome. The astral projection, the mansion on the cliff, such lovely gothic atmosphere.Diana Peterfreundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03681841474717604660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18507492.post-41770339908808787272010-01-29T14:06:36.031-05:002010-01-29T14:06:36.031-05:00Ok, I found my cover!

Most of my Lois Duncan books were from the same publisher, so they looked like the one linked above (my other favorites were the Third Eye and Down A Dark Hall ones!).Theahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11138984974139025278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18507492.post-92124335958127253902010-01-29T14:03:18.994-05:002010-01-29T14:03:18.994-05:00DUDE!

This was my first real exposure to the southern American gothic horror type of novel, and I don't really think anything has lived up to how incredibly creepy and atmospheric LIT was for me. Lisette...there are no words. <br /><br />What a great stroll down memory lane! Although I had a different cover than those pictured above (mine was dark purplish with an hourglass on the cover, and I think there was blood too...hmm, I'll have to hunt it down!).Theahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11138984974139025278noreply@blogger.com
