Horror Lot - vtg paperbacks from hell ketchum bradbury zebra grant wicker man

Description: Back with a nice post-Halloween goodie bag of vintage horror classics. With your winning bid/purchase, you'll be receiving: The Devil's Cat - William W. Johnstone : A wonderfully trashy tome from the meat and potatoes pen of William W. Johnston, one of the great authors in Zebra's stable, featuring an awesome holographic cat head on the cover. These Zebra paperbacks are getting harder and harder to come by and this is a fine example: some great gore scenes and ridiculous character motivations/interior dialogues. Off Season - Jack Ketchum : Re-release of Jack Ketchum's incredible debut, still the closest an author has come to capturing 70's grindhouse horror like Texas Chainsaw or Hills Have Eyes without descending into immature splatter...which isn't to say it isn't absolutely disgusting and brutal. It is that. Just better written! This re-release is the unexpurgated version with a far bleaker (better!) ending the publishers jettisoned for the 1980 release. The Pet - Charles L. Grant : Beautiful hardcover copy of quiet horror king Charles L. Grant's 1986 minor classic, concerning a high school student facing off against both a serial killer and a supernatural horse. Incredibly vivid writing (Grant's trademark) and an eerie, off-kilter atmosphere...one of my favorite re-reads of this year. The Illustrated Man - Ray Bradbury : This early (1954) printing of the classic 1951 Bradbury story collection is not only adorned with beautiful cover art, but features many of the master's greatest stories, including his nightmarish "The Veldt". The Wicker Man - Robin Hardy and Anthony Shaffer : 1978 novelization of the folk horror classic that really gets down to brass tacks about motivations and further fleshes out the world of the film, released in conjunction with the US release of the film (a severely truncated version of the film which flopped, natch). Increasingly hard to find, even harder to put down. Ships for $5 within a day of receipt of payment. Thanks for looking and Happy All Soul's Day!
