The first cover - Return to Octavia - is the best one. I mean, if the Cleveland Armory says its "Well worth shivering over" then I'm sold. Mary Roberts Rinheart's "This Strange Adventure" also has a very nice cover, very understated but an intriguing image nonetheless.
Once again, I am compelled to point out the presence of the great George Zeil (GWEN IN GREEN, DRACULA BEGAN) -- that's his work on THIS STRANGE ADVENTURE, one of about a dozen Rinehart re-issues he illustrated in the early 70s.

Definitely my two faves as well!

Wasn't sure if that was Zeil or not, so didn't want to mention it. Thanks!
My pleasure, Will -- I'll keep pointing 'em out whenever they show up.
