The title promises another of DC's ghost and horror comics, but SECRETS OF SINISTER HOUSE is really a continuation of their gothic mystery book, THE SINISTER HOUSE OF SECRET LOVE. Art is by Mike Sekowski that's saved by the inks of Dick Giordano. The script is by Lynn Marron, who went on to write for Warren and is currently scripting stories for the Warrant Publishing titles, SHUDDER and VAMPIRESS CARMILLA.
DC has reprinted this in a Showcase volume from long ago, but sadly never got around to reprinting the companion Dark Mansion of Forbidden Love. These gothic horror romance yarns weren't bad and the art was often outstanding.
