These are just my opinions, and I’d always encourage you to support an endeavor like this if you are interested. Please don’t take that as a slight against the publisher, the Paperbacks from Hell label, or even the books themselves. Of course, I am more critical about the ones I didn’t enjoy as much. It’s the opposite I want to celebrate the ones I think are absolutely great. My intention here isn’t to belittle or discourage the purchase of the books I ended up ranking toward the bottom. That’s sort of an experiment - I prefer letting my posts stand as they were written - so we’ll see how it goes.Īnd, finally, Valancourt is a great press and a not especially huge one. My plan is to update this list as I read them, but I do not intend to revise the content of the existing entries any more than would be absolutely necessary. As I write this, two other books are in the pipeline. Proceed at your own risk, basically.Īlso, Paperbacks from Hell is an ongoing series. You won’t find any story-ruining spoilers below, but obviously I will cite some sequences and examples from the books, so if one of them piques your interest and seems like something you’d enjoy, don’t hesitate to stop reading my mini-review. And yes, I stole the format, but I stole it from myself so I think that’s okay. I encourage you to give the series a look, if you’re interested at all, and I might as well do so by ranking every Paperback from Hell, worst to best. In a few cases, though, the material has risen well beyond what I thought I’d find. I expected I’d be in for some gory, dopey fun. I’ve snapped up every Paperbacks from Hell reprint, and I’m glad I have. (Not entirely without reason, but still.) It was inspired by Grady Hendrix’s excellent Paperbacks from Hell, itself an entertaining and fascinating history of a publishing subset most people saw as disposable. In 2019, Valancourt Books began reissuing out-of-print horror novels under the Paperbacks from Hell label. Zachary Kaplan on Housekeeping post: Nov.
