Mockingbird’s paperback edition of The Phantoms of Dixie, “a survey of ghostly phenomena in the South” by parapsychologist Hans Holzer (1920–2009).

Firsthand accounts of psychic experiences; of ghosts seen or heard; of rickety houses and stately mansions whose otherworld inhabitants share the appointments with flesh-and-blood people.

The unknown cover designer looked for an aptly chilling typeface … and settled on Supercooper, a bottom-heavy variation of Cooper Black, issued by Phil Martin’s Alphabet Innovations in 1970. Is it convincingly ghostly? You decide.
