Paperbacks from Hell: The Twisted History of '70s and '80s Horror Fiction by Grady Hendrix
informative
inspiring
lighthearted
fast-paced
5.0
An overview of '70s and '80s horror fiction, full of pictures of book covers and commentary of the funny, campy and horrific books that marked a new publishing genre and filled the shelves in those decades of horror fiction publication.
The books they've decided to highlight from during this period are a lot of the main ones, but also a lot of obscure ones I've never heard of and they go onto detail of what they're about - and due to this I've stacked some books onto my TBR!
Don't know how long it took to compile and create this book but I will say something, it has definitely been researched and thought out well.
A must read for fans of horror fiction.
