Genre-riffic

There's a long and loving tribute to Wordcandy favorite Mary Stewart over on Jezebel. I don't agree with the author's suggestion that the 60s-era paperback covers always did a Grade-A job of conveying the charms of Ms. Stewart's mid-century Gothics (as I mentioned in my review, the girl on my oldest version of Nine Coaches Waiting looks like Ivana Trump), but I fully approve of the rest of it.
