Memory of Megan by Marc Lovell (Ace Gothic, second printing)
Memory of Megan (initially released as The Ghosts of Megan) is a book by Marc Lovell. The plot revolves around an actress named Stella Grifith, who decides to head to her ancestors’ hometown of Rythgollen in an attempt to escape from Hollywood and Sam Cullen, her boyfriend. However, things go south after she finds herself having to deal with the ghost of a girl named Megan, and Sam Cullen, who manages to track Stella down. Originally released in 1968 by Doubleday, the book has been republished by several different companies, including Ace Books, whose second printing was released in May 1973.
The typeface for the title is Oxford Italic Swash, which is distinguished from its non-swashed counterpart by several details, including the single-story g and presence of swash alternates. The f is apparently a modification, as none of the face’s alternates have a ball terminal on the bottom for that letter.
