NotesBased on the short story "Revenge" by Samuel Blas. This story was first published in Colliers (January 11, 1947). The story was also used as the basis for "Revenge," an episode of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" shown on 2 October 1955, and also in the new Hitchcock television series in 1985. It also served (uncredited) as inspiration for the TV-movie "Revenge for a Rape" (1976).

One lists four romance titles; a second highlights "Teen-Age Brides" (which is not one of the previous 4 titles); the third deals with Harvey's 4 "suspense" titles ("Witches Tales," "Black Cat Mystery," "Chamber of Chills," and "Tomb of Terror").
