52091-X EVA ZUMWALT (aka JOHN JACOB NILES) Masquerade of Evil (original title: Black is the Color (c.1975; nd; copyright by G. Schirmer, Inc.) and DIANE LAPOINT Flames Over The Castle (c.1975; nd; ACE Gothic Novel)

Headlined as "An ACE Double Cameo" with a cameo medallion in the banner caption. These are priced at $2.25. This is actually an ACE Double with a single cover. This appears to be the only "double" issue in the Cameo series and was not referenced in the source that I found concerning this series. I also find it annoying that they did not use the "came ring" motif that is found in the ACE Gothic Cameo series.

Note that Masquerade of Evil was originally published as ACE 52090 (December 1975) whilst Flames Over The Castle was originally published as ACE 24070 (January 1975).
