There was another twisted Millennium publication, Asylum, presenting a similar theme, which I covered in a previous post. I didn't follow Millennium much in their day, but I am going back to collect them now, after coming across these gems.
FYI, Millennium Publications co-founder Mark Ellis has also written numerous books the Outlander series, under the pen name James Axler.
