BOTD in 1946 - some good #paperbacksfromhell items from Thomas F. Monteleone #thomasmonteleone . Not got round to reading any of these as yet, and Night Train paperbacks look pretty pricey online. Great covers though

Sad news: I’ve learned that horror great Thomas Tessier died at the end of March. Novels like FINISHING TOUCHES, THE NIGHTWALKER, and RAPTURE, lots of short stories, were some of the finest, most penetrating, most disturbing of the #PaperbacksfromHell era

Dobre wieści z Albatorasa: wydają sagę „Blackwater” Michaela McDowella, o której pozytywnie pisał chociażby @grady_hendrix w swoich #PaperbacksFromHell. Póki co można nabyć 2 pierwsze tomy.

Got a fresh review up at Too Much Horror Fiction! This time, a maybe-overlooked @RealCliveBarker novel from the very end of the #PaperbacksfromHell era.
I’ll post the link in replies

Book mail! I love the color design & typeface, but otherwise I think this is one of the worst covers of the #PaperbacksfromHell era 😭 Still, some @RealCliveBarker classics inside, it’s Books of Blood Vol. 6, short novel “Cabal” which is the basis for movie Nightbreed
🙌📖🩸❤️

Be warned, once you start reading and collecting these vintage #PaperbacksfromHell, they tend to multiply like rabbits. Here's the bookcase with my ~700 double-shelved horror bunnies.

If you love horror books and want to expand your reading range, or just enjoy looking at the amazing covers they used to put on the shelves of the bookshops and libraries - this is highly-recommended reference - entertaining too. #gradyhendrix #willerrickson #paperbacksfromhell

Picked up a copy of The Bog - by an author I’ve not read before #michaeltalbot Michael Talbot. Slight damage to the stepback cover but it looks ok. Looking forward to getting on to this #paperbacksfromhell at some point…

My latest review is up at Too Much Horror Fiction! One of the rarest #PaperbacksfromHell ever (no, I did not find a copy alas), reprinted by @fathom_press. A sleazy tale of icy existential monstrous horror…
