Doubleday book club editions also remove ISBN and edition statement. Gutter code: J49 on page 210. Jacket design by Bob Antler. It appears that Antler did the cover art, but it is not attributed to him.

The novel has horror themes, and works as dark suspense. Goodreads does not pick up this edition.
