“Pure, demented delight.” - The New York Times Book ReviewĬover by Richard Newton from Cat’s Eye by William W. ’70s and ’80s Horror Books and their CoversĬover by Terry Oakes from Birthpyre by Larry Brand, Corgi & Avon, 1980 The book’s eight chapters (with names like “Hail Satan,” “Weird Science,” and “Splatterpunks, Serial Killers, and Super Creeps”) dive deep into pulp publishing that in a way that will delight anyone with an interest in horror, design, illustration or the macabre.īelow are just a few of the images included in the book that has critics smiling. Paperbacks from Hell includes 350 full-color reprints of some of the “creepiest, weirdest and most gruesome covers ever produced” in the realm of fiction. This year, he’s back with a journey through one of the most fascinating eras in pop publishing. Last year, author Grady Hendrix released My Best Friend’s Exorcism -a comically horrific tale of teenage friends growing up in the ’80s dealing with something a little more devilish than puberty. This year I’m celebrating with some delicious pumpkin beer and reading from one of my newest favorites, Paperbacks from Hell: The Twisted History of ’70s and ’80s Horror Fiction (Quirk Books). Who doesn’t like a good scare every once in a while? Not to mention the beautiful tradition of Samhain, welcoming the darker half of the year and celebrating the end of the Harvest season. It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Halloween of course. FINAL EXTENDED DEADLINE: Logo Design Awards
