Some years back I showed INSIDE to a group of friends who weren’t necessarily horror fans and they lost their minds *loud* 😂

UNSOLICITED D*CK PIC
Just some Dick I found in the wild yesterday, dirt cheap but got the job done 🙌
I don’t collect just #PaperbacksfromHell! My book mail today was the second-to-last title I need to complete my Travis McGee collection from the mighty John D. MacDonald—who I started reading bc of course Stephen King rates him so highly 🙌

#paperbacksfromhell
Fathom Press has recently reprinted another vintage rare horror paperback title—BAD RONALD from 1973, by SF/F master Jack Vance. Cover art by Stephen Andrade, introduction by me. If you like #PaperbacksfromHell, you’ll love meeting Bad Ronald!

BOTD F. Marion Crawford (1854-1909), American author of seminal classic horror stories "The Upper Berth" & "For the Blood is the Life." A 1911 collection republished mid-‘90s—who remembers White Wolf/Borealis? They put out some good genre titles but wow some of their typesetting design was wonky! 😂
How delightful!
I thought that was what enshittification meant in the first place ?
THE AMULET is by Don Ivan Punchatz and THE ANTS is by Don Brautigam almost certainly
The late great Ken Greenhall BOTD 1928. He died just a few years before we put out #PaperbacksfromHell, Grady Hendrix even befriended his widow. A shame he couldn’t have seen that two of books, HELL HOUND & ELIZABETH, are now considered stone-cold classicks of the paperback horror era!
Sorry I missed this but it’s definitely THE SCREAM by John Skipp and Craig Spector!
1984 UK paperback of THE FARM by Richard Haigh featuring a snarling monstrous pig on the cover (art by Les Edward’s)
Oh boy look what Grady Hendrix lent me—one of the rarest of all #PaperbacksfromHell! Hope to have a review up on Too Much Horror Fiction soon…
Actually, no! I was eager to post about it but they asked I wait till they announce it themselves. Should be Spring ‘25 🤞
Fathom Press, under their Savage Harvest reprint line of vintage paperbacks—I wrote an intro for another title coming later this year
Zebra was shameless with that tagline—what makes the novel so scary is that it is neither surreal nor supernatural!
The video for “Dracula’s Tango (Sucker for Your Love)” by Toto Coelo from 1983: lyrics are delicious bloody puns, the imagery is Gothic ‘80s pop, and the way the women *want* to invite him in… it’s perfect vampire mythology to me! ❤️🩸🧛🏻

Birthday greetings to one of the giants of the #PaperbacksfromHell era—and beyond—the one and only @ramseycampbell.bsky.social!
Got some crime fiction bangers today—love adding those Black Lizards to the library!
TO DIE FOR absolutely one of my top ‘90s movies I mean that Cronenberg cameo 🙌
It’s a 1964 UK edition
BOTD Charles Beaumont (1929-1967), whose many short stories and scripts for the original Twilight Zone tv show and various classic horror movies influenced a whole generation of horror writers growing up in the '50s and '60s… and beyond
#PaperbacksfromHell
I watched it on one of those dollar bin VHS tapes in the early ‘90s. I think it’s fascinating to see how movies/books/music go in and out of fashion as new generations come along
Interesting. When I was a young horror fan in the 80s/early 90s, SPIDER BABY was one of *the* cult films; BLACK CHRISTMAS, not so much
BOTD Bari Wood (1936), who wrote the terrific TWINS (1977) and THE TRIBE (1981), two exemplars of vintage mainstream thriller/horror fiction. She wrote several others as well, I haven’t read them but these would be hard to beat! Essential #PaperbacksfromHell 🤘📖🔥☠️
Oh boy have you heard “Here is a picture of John and I’s wedding”? That’s a special one I’ve been seeing and hearing for awhile now!
Maybe my favorite Coen Bros movie (along w Llewyn Davis)
Oh man that Hellblazer cover takes me back!
“orbits the horror” is a perfectly apt description of Aickman’s style
Had he… had he never seen a cat “play” with a mouse? I’m still haunted by the first time I ever saw it in real life, rather than being used as a metaphor
