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.

    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

      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.

      I haven't read any of his fiction novels, though I do have two or three of his titles on my Kindle.

I genuinely cherish the thoughts and insights of my readers, and I wholeheartedly welcome your engagement. However, to foster a truly constructive dialogue, I’ll be keeping a careful eye on the comments section. This means I’ll be moderating to weed out any spammy detritus, overly harsh critiques, or contributions that don’t add anything meaningful to the conversation. Think of it as my little corner of the internet—a space where everyone can share their perspectives without the noise. Let’s make this a place where ideas can flourish and grow, rather than wither away in the shadows of irrelevance.
