Paperbacks from Hell

12/17/2019

Got a kick out of this. Paperbacks from Hell pays homage to the paperback horror boom of the 1980s where attention-grabbing covers like those above vied for my dollars when I stopped in the Benjamin Books in the World Trade Center mall on my way home from Brooklyn. I would pick up a few every time I ran out of the last batch.

My novel Stage Fright is pictured on the cover and reviewed inside. Thanks for the memories Grady Hendrix!

STAGE FRIGHT

For his first number, a little something that'll have them screaming in their seats!

The impossible was happening. The corpse, still streaming water from the many holes in its torso, was rising, hauling its way hand over hand up Charlie’s leg. Bloated and rotting it plunged its teeth into Charlie’s throat, holding on like a pit bull. The sounds of cracking bone and gurgling were loud . . .
FEEL
the claws of the creatures of the night
SEE
the walking dead prey on their victims
HEAR
the agonized screams
of the mad and the helpless
TASTE
the fear that rises from your stomach
and consumes you whole
Buy a seat for the show of the
century—at the price of your life!
