What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

I read books from this series back in the 80's, but they might be from the late 70's, possibly. It was a series of horror books, written by different authors. It wasn't goosebumps, these were actually kind of creepy almost too freaky for kids stories.

Anyone remember?

Thanks! I can't remember much about the books themselves, I remember there was one about a girl in Egypt and a curse with a mummy, another one that took place in a swamp, etc...

I read some of these I think. I remember the mummy one, the girl was a reincarnation of a cursed queen or something. There was this one part where she or someone has drawn a picture and it sort of comes to life at night. I read another with the word 'bayou' in the title-a girl goes to take care of her sick aunt who live in a swampy bayou area but she's not really catatonic-again maybe there is a vodoo curse on her or something. I'm going to do some digging and see if I can come up with the series.

Okay-I found something. The one I was talking about was Evil on the Bayou by Richie Tankersley Cusick and they were part of the Twilight series. (Twilight-where darkness begins) was on the cover of them all) The Egyptian one could have been Amulet of Doom but I couldn't find out enough about it to be sure.

I loved those books-they totally freaked me out!

oh dang, these totally look right!! thanks so much! also glad to know they were kind of freaky to other people too!

you rock!

So glad I could help and thanks for the trip down memory lane! I had this thing about reading scary books as a kid but then I would totally freak myself out later. These books definitely feed into that cycle!

Wikipedia has a listing of the books in that series:

Oh my gosh!!! Thank you so much for that!! it was great just getting the series but having the whole list is even better! and i didn't even think of checking wikipedia...i remember some of those covers. that is just so cool....thanks, you have honestly made me day! (I'm easily pleased!)

Happy to help! I was adding the two books mentioned in this post to the group bookshelf and wanted to make sure I had the correct books. It's confusing since there are different authors - and the Bruce Coville books were later republished as part of his Chamber of Horrors series. So I did a quick Google search and that Wikipedia page popped up. Thought I would pass along the information. :)
