#Bookmail from the lovely people at Valancourt who truly do the world a service by reprinting some fabulous and sometimes long OOP books.
These are the two newest #PaperbacksFromHell from Thomas Tessier and they look fantastic. Should be able to get to them in November (hopefully, haaaa) but for now they look right at home amongst my other vintage paperbacks and PFH.

My entire #vintage Shirley Jackson #paperback collection. The Popular Library with the fancy font (& art by William Teason, I think) is the series I had been missing one from, UNTIL NOW. The others are miscellaneous vintage paperbacks I've collected, including two rare ones (The Corgi HILL HOUSE & the golden cat CASTLE one.)

#BOTD SF/F illustrator Wayne Barlowe (1958), whose covers for Michael McDowell’s saga BLACKWATER (1983) effectively suggest the eerie goings-on within…

#PaperbacksfromHell

By way of #Introduction here are #7ThingsAboutMe
- My username's a portmanteau of my two favorite bands, and I can tie a lot of my interests to one or the other
- I define #horror broadly and love my genres mixed
- I grew up in the #80s and still love the aesthetic
- I like #PaperbacksFromHell but I LOVE #HardcoversFromHell
- I'm an atheist but I try not to be an asshole about it
- I'm not a recent Twitter escapee; I got out of there ages ago
- I dress mostly in black because I'm goth-adjacent

Today’s book mail is one of my holy grails. Finding a copy of BLACKWATER I that is not extremely inflated is a chore. I finally got lucky. #AmReading #horror #books #BookRecommendations #HorrorCommunity #HorrorBooks #HorrorFamily #BookToot #Bookstodon #PaperbacksFromHell

Check out my #review of The Pack by David Fisher. One of the better written (and least ludicrous) entries in #Valancourt #Books #PaperbacksFromHell series.

Even though the typeset is almost too small for my old-ass eyes, I can't get enough of these re-released horror classics. This is the kind of stuff I grew up taking out from the #library

If anyone is looking for a copy of McDowell’s BLACKWATER I for their #PaperbacksFromHell collection, Abe’s has quite a few listed under 20 bucks!

This is as festive as my #reading is getting this year… Such Nice People by Sandra Scoppettone is a late-seventies/early-eighties Christmas nightmare. Tom, golden child, is visited by a strange god who convinces him he must do something unspeakable to his family 🎄 #PaperbacksFromHell #book #BookReview #bookstodon #HorrorBooks

Earlier I shared my unholy Trinity of #cosmichorror but I need to add the caveat that the absolute GOAT for me is the incomparable Shirley Jackson. Her weird words, precise language, cutting observations, and witchy wit have all enhanced my life in myriad ways. Here are a few from my #shirleyiackson #paperback collection.
What's your favorite Shirley Jackson story or book?

My McDowell reread concludes with 2006s posthumous novel CANDLES BURNING. Tabitha King created the work from his last manuscript 7 years after his unfortunate and untimely death.

Valancourt Books is re-printing some of the works featured in #PaperbacksFromHell and you can pre-order them!

I'm pretty excited.

Haven't decided yet if I'll just get the ebooks (like I should) or the actual physical copies. Or mostly ebooks and just "When Darkness Loves Us" in paperback because I love that cover *so much*.

So many of the covers shown in this book would make great t-shirts. The one for "Satan Sublets" (p 26) particularly caught my eye for some reason. Just a whole lot of "wtf is going on here??"

And hey, Hendrix has a review of it you can read if you were also wondering that!

Amazing.
