While all of his books are great reads, I wanted to also put in a plug for his book about 80's era horror novels titled Paperbacks from Hell. It highlights a lot of older gems, as a horror lit fan, I found it quite enjoyable, sadly tracking down the books mentioned is the challenge. Still a fun read 🙂
