![]() I spoke with PAPERBACKS FROM HELL series editor Grady Hendrix, Will Errickson ( Too Much Horror Fiction blogger and author of the afterword to Paperbacks From Hell) and Valancourt publisher James D. The recently launched series offers readers a chance to re-experience classic horror fiction or perhaps discover it for the first time. That book is now being used as a blueprint for a new line of retro-reprints from Valancourt Books called, appropriately enough, PAPERBACKS FROM HELL. I'll freely admit it's a book I keep returning to for reading ideas or just to look at the cool cover art. It's a survey of paperback horror fiction from those decades in all their gory glory. Grady Hendrix shared that same appreciation with readers in 2017 with the publication of the Bram Stoker Award-winning love-letter to 70s and 80s horror fiction, Paperbacks From Hell. Those books never fail to evoke a sense of nostalgia and-I'll admit it-appreciation. ![]() ![]() Adorned with decades-old book spines that are predominantly black, they boast covers that are simultaneously creepy, kitschy and remarkably appealing. ![]() If you've spent any amount of time in a used bookstore, you've undoubtedly seen the horror paperbacks section. ![]()
