Birthstone Gothic 1 The Ghost And The Garnet Marilyn Ross First Printing 1975
Item History & Price
This is the original (hard to find) 1975 First Printing of "The Ghost and The Garnet" by Marilyn Ross. It was Birthstone Gothic #1, the first in the Gothic Romance series. "The precious stone of good fortune...delivered her into a dreaded house of evil!"
The cover artwork is vintage MCM, mod and pulp fiction to the max! The book is in good condition, with a few minor edge scuffs to the cover. The pages are yellowed, as happens with paperbacks from this era. There are no breaks in th...e spine. There is a mark in pen on the first page, otherwise clean of notations.
From back cover:"Once she wore the garnet ring - she was cursed! Strange stories were told about the Fenton Garnet and the powers attributed to it. But even stranger was the proposal made by the mysterious James Cole to young Betsy Turner: to wear the fabled ring and impersonate its rightful owner, the woman to whom Betsy bore a striking resemblence, - his wife, Gail Fenton Cole.Betsy couldn't resist the urge to place the ring on her finger...visit Fenton Castle dressed up in Gail's clothing...and meet Gail's grandparents. But once she saw the Garnet ring, it changed her life. She was ruled by it...her destiny somehow joined to the fate of the Fentons!"
