Bicentennial splatterpunk?
 

Hey Y'all,

This is my first post . . . and it's a looooooooong shot. If you're not a rare book collector or are under 40 you might as well skip right over it.

QUESTION: Sometime between 1974 and 1977 a book was published -- author unknown -- HARDCOVER -- title was either Jane or Jill. Never saw dust jacket, but clothbound hardcover was grey with red foil lettering on the spine and the red foil imprint of a girl in a dress holding a razor on the front cover.

This way pre-dates "Splatterpunk", but it was an extremely graphic novel about a young lady who is repeatedly approached by sexual predators -- whom she dispatches slowly and brutally with a straight razor.

I've been checking Amazon, Bookfinder, and Alibris with no luck.

Has anyone ever heard anything about such a book?

Barring that, does anyone have access to OLD volumes of Books In Print from the mid-1970s in the basement of some rural library? OLD volumes of the magazine CREEPY would likely have it listed in its advertisments. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Maybe "Julia" by Peter Straub, idk I haven't read that one yet.

definitely not "Julia", but it's what I thought immediately when I read his hypothetical titles. then I read what it was about and "Julia" is nothing like that.
