I used to be so obsessed with Lois Duncan. Also, The Voice of Dolls' cover used to captivate me so much when I worked at my hometown's antique shop. We'd get all kinds of books in, any age, and I remember seeing that one at some point after my boss bought a lot of paperbacks at an estate sale. I was always curious by it, but those paperbacks sold quickly. Also, ah, Helter Skelter gave me nightmares too!
