Cover Art by Robert Adragna
Internal Illustrations: None

First Printing Identification: 1234567890 numberline on the copyright page.

Notes:
-- This edition introduces the one-time character of Reginald Clarke, who takes the place of Alfred Hitchcock as a movie director in search of an authentic haunted house. This was probably done because Terror Castle is the only book that uses a film director as a very substantive plot device and there would have had to have been major rewriting of the story to eliminate him.

Common Name: Dodge Issue
First Printed: 1998
Cover Art by Bill Dodge
Internal Illustrations: None

First Printing Identification: 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 numberline on the copyright page.

Notes:
-- This version is not a new edition, but a reissue (with a new set of printings) of the Bullseye Edition with different cover art. Both share the same ISBN and printing plates (typeface). Technically, this issue should be included with the Bullseye Edition, but was given a separate section because it was part of a recent Random House release of the first eleven books in the series with renewed copyrights.
-- A variant of this book exists in which a promotional price of 99 cent ($1.50 in Canada) is printed on the cover. This variant is much less common; it was probably only available for a short time. Click here for a cover scan.
