DIE MONSTER DIE!
The “World’s Worst Horror Fiction”…? That may well be accurate
REVELRY IN HELL
A notorious 1939 pulp novella adapted into an adults-only 1990 comic
SATAN’S SAINT
This novelized biography of the Marquis de Sade has been widely neglected, but I say SATAN’S SAINT demands a rediscovery
THE NIGHT BOAT
It’s far from the best of Robert R. McCammon’s early horror novels, but THE NIGHT BOAT has, at the very least, an irresistible premise involving a sunken Nazi submarine harboring flesh eating zombies
THE WOMAN IN BLACK
A quintessential example of Quiet Horror: elegant, old-fashioned, and subdued, not to mention very English in its setting and outlook
ZISKA: THE PROBLEM OF A WICKED SOUL
Reincarnation themed horror from the Victorian era
CHTHON
One of the foremost “dangerous visions” of the late 1960s was this once-shocking interplanetary reverie, the first novel by the prolific fantasist Piers Anthony
THE FAR CRY
A worthy, if unexceptional, addition to the late Fredric Brown’s retinue of pulpy suspensers
THE LODGER
A 1913 suspensor whose enjoyment is contingent on the ability to cast one’s mind back and view the text through the eyes of an Edwardian
CROSS COUNTRY
An X-rated thriller whose 1975 copyright date (a time when mainstream fiction was much wilder than it is now) is fully evident
