Donations to the Collection: Lust Lodge


Title: Lust Lodge (Nightstand Books NB1621, 1962)
Author: Don Holliday
Cover artist: that guy who did so many of their covers ... whatsisname!

Happy Halloween! You're welcome.


  • The Hand!! "Nice to meet you Mrs. ... I ... uh ..."
  • X marks the spot, dang!
  • Did they even plan to draw a guy into this shot originally? His sliver of head and Random Hand look like total (awesome) afterthoughts.
  • I like her underwears. I choose to ignore the fact that she has Ronald McDonald hair.

  • Yet another classic from the Absurd Two-Word Intro .../... Outro school of back cover writing.
  • To say this is bad writing is really to give bad writing a worse name than it already has.
  • Three "wantons" (counting front and back)! Plural, adjectival, possessive. That's gotta be a record.

Page 123~ (brace yourselves ...)
