An affectionate; nostalgic; and unflinchingly funny celebration of the horror fiction boom of the 1970s and rsquo;80s Take a tour through the horror paperback novels of two iconic decades . . . if you dare. Page through dozens and dozens of amazing book covers featuring well-dressed skeletons; evil dolls; and knife-wielding killer crabs! Read shocking plot summaries that invoke devil worship; satanic children; and haunted real estate! Horror author and vintage paperback book collector Grady Hendrix offers killer commentary and witty insight on these trashy thrillers that tried so hard to be the next Exorcist or Rosemaryrsquo;s Baby. Complete with story summaries and artist and author profiles; this unforgettable volume dishes on familiar authors like V. C. Andrews and R. L. Stine; plus many more whorsquo;ve faded into obscurity. Also included are recommendations for which of these forgotten treasures are well worth your reading time and which should stay buried.
