Review of PAPERBACK FROM HELL by Grady Hendrix

Horror nostalgia rocks in author Grady Hendrix' exceptional and thoroughly entertaining recounting of two of horror publishing's most fervent decades, the 1970's through 1980's. Mr. Hendrix clearly loves and knows his topic, and for readers who also have reveled in novels produced in this period, memories will awaken. Perhaps among readers who don't know these books, inspiration might arise to search out some of these novels. Mr. Hendrix offers clarity, humour, and the benefit of a thorough understanding of horror publishing's most prolific hour.
