Out of the darkness of the fetid Hudson River, the undead rose to eat their victims alive.... Horror-movie monsters burst from late-night TV screens -- to turn their viewers into victims. Biker gangs of decomposing corpses rode the highways of America, on the hunt for unsuspecting motorists.... Take a front seat in the baddest nightmare in town. Superstar Izzy Stark has the power to make your dreams -- and nightmares -- come true. He's the master of disaster, the guru of gore, the doctor of doom, the duke of death and destruction -- and you can't escape this command performance. This first-ever reprint of Garrett Boatman's rare '80s paperback horror gem Stage Fright (1988) features a new introduction by Will Errickson and the original cover art.
London 1890s. Out of the Thames' fetid depths the undead rise to feast upon the living. While floaters seek blood, another army takes advantage of the chaos. Boiling out of their rookeries of crime, marauders swarm through London's affluent neighborhoods looting and burning. While the beleaguered police and the Queen's army battle twin plagues-human and inhuman-London's criminal youth gangs join forces to save their city. Will Tagget, leader of the Lambeth Lads, together with his enemies Bill Drummond of the Drury Lane Gang, bull-necked George Fish of the Elephant and Castle Gang, shillelagh-wielding Dirk Bogart of the New Cut Gang, Quincy Bird of City Road, along with their female counterparts-Lambeth Kate, Queen Jane, New Cut Beth, Razor Lil and Dirty Deidre-set out on an adventure the telling of which might earn a man a lifetime of free drinks. If he lives to tell it. Will these violent youths be able to put aside their rivalries long enough to get the job done?
In the Desert of Dudael, the demon Azazel is freed from the pit where he has dwelled for millennia. On the frozen world of Abyss, fallen angels banished from earth in the time of Enoch, prepare for their return. But the world is vanishing. Soon there will be battleground for neither man nor demon. Rick Scott has sworn off magic, but when he receives a summons from his former mentor, he must travel the ravaged wasteland of time and gaze into the mirror of eternity before the world plunges into the white-hot singularity of creation. But there are creatures that dwell within time’s labyrinth who would sate their unspeakable hunger on the unwary traveler.
Researching sustainable energy, Rick’s best friend Wally has discovered a means to tap into the bioplasmic energy field that surrounds all living things. He envisions trains and office towers running off collective psi. But when he invites his friends to test his psychotronic generator, they unleash demons residing in the human old brain, the seat of aggression and primal drives. As the body count rises, it becomes clear, for these creatures of the id to survive, their creators must die. Pursued by police and hunted by their doubles, the choice is simple: kill or be killed. Even if the face of the enemy is your own. *** “The Dark Half meets From Beyond in this tale that will scratch your...
From the New York Times best-selling author of The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires comes a nostalgic and unflinchingly funny celebration of the horror fiction boom of the 1970s and ’80s. Take a tour through the horror paperback novels of two iconic decades . . . if you dare. Page through dozens and dozens of amazing book covers featuring well-dressed skeletons, evil dolls, and knife-wielding killer crabs!

Horror author and vintage paperback book collector Grady Hendrix offers killer commentary and witty insight on these trashy thrillers that tried so hard to be the next Exorcist or Rosemary’s Baby.

Also included are recommendations for which of these forgotten treasures are well worth your reading time and which should stay buried.
At a multiple-vehicle accident in Memphis, EMT Rick Scott hears a dead man whisper, “It’s begun…the feeding.” In Montreal, a demon attacks centuries-old horologist and priest of the Goddess, Reginaldo da Silva, damaging the mandala that binds the chains of the Pleiades. In Arkansas, Talmaiel, a rogue Watcher who escaped the avenging angels in the days of Enoch, leads a biker army to free his brothers from the Abyss. As the Hour of the Nephilim approaches, Rick must choose—side with humanity or become a prince among the Fallen. The Cosmic Clock is ticking.
This collection of eighteen short tales, a novelette and a short novel takes the reader inside the dark imagination of Elizabeth Engstrom, author of acclaimed horror classics like When Darkness Loves Us. In these stories, you will read about a woman asked to be complicit in her own mother's death, a grandmother with a macabre hobby, a bizarre, phallic-shaped flower that portends evil for a married couple, a father whose son is caught up in a sinister government experiment. These are weird and unsettling tales that will linger with the reader. In her introduction to this new edition, Lisa Kröger writes, "There are true horrors that await readers in all of Engstrom's works ... reminds me of another giant of horror literature, Shirley Jackson."
