Possessive children are usually pawns of a revenge-seeking spirits and, helpfully, often come with instructions for how best to lay the spirits to rest and return your child to normalcy, albeit with a few murders on the little angel's rap sheet.

My Thoughts

I read a slew of used horror paperbacks during my teenage years. Besides the crazy plots, the #1 thing I love about them is the creepy covers. Last fall, I ordered the non-fiction book "Paperbacks from Hell" just a few days before it went on sale as a "monthly deal" on Kindle, so I ended up owning the eBook and the paperback. Since then I've looked through the many horror book covers that are featured in it and read bits of pieces. Now, I'm going to take the time to read the entire book from beginning to end.

  2. What a great book. I'd like to leaf through it. I can't read horror fiction, however. I get too scared. Hope you are staying safely away from the nasty virus. My Friday Quotes

    1. It's a book about the 70s and 80s horror novels. There's not a whole lot of actual horror, well, except for the many twisted book covers.
