...Babysitter III or Monster -- and there are suddenly a remarkable number of books very much like them -- do not reach such underage readers by subterfuge or stealth. Adolescents now constitute a booming niche market for the peddling of published gore and violence. "Teens' interests go in cycles," says Patricia MacDonald, editorial director of Archway Paperbacks, an imprint of Pocket Books and a major player in the teen-horror field.

James Valentine's doubling of Merlyn...

Eventually she made the nickname legal, but somehow she was always more a Thelma than a Patricia, the kind of girl that in those days was called spunky.
