hi, as you must know I'm a newcomer here and to the world of vintage UK horror paperbacks. Thanks to the excellent Paperbacks from hell and the great blog Too much horror fiction I know a bit about the American ones but the uk horror paperbacks of 70s-80s are still a mystery for me. I know and have read and enjoyed James Herbert, Graham Masterton, Shaun Hutson, Guy N Smith, Ramsey Campbell but which other books and anthologies are interesting? can you make between all a little list of suggested readings? Thanks in advance

and don't forget about Paula Guran and Ellen Datlow nowadays as editors, Lisa Tuttle, Nancy Holder, Kathe Koja, Melanie Tem, Tanith Lee as authors... lots of women in the horror field

hi, here Francisco from Spain, I hope you excuse my ignorance but I've got some questions related to the pulp horror paperback of the 70s in England to you. Were they really popular in the UK? were them everywhere? bookshops. newstands, groceries, supermarkets...? which kind of people read this kind of books? mainly men I supposed but teenagers, elder people, workers, soldiers, prisoners in jails...? again excuse my ignorance and my poor English
Greetings from Spain

hi, I'm reading now this novel (first of a series) by two authors sadly missed JF Gonzalez and Mark Williams. I'm enjoying it a lot very much like The rats by James Herbert and obviously The crabs series by Guy N Smith of whom Williams was a true admirer. Fast paced, well written and with very aceptable characterization is the kind of book I like to read. Have you read it? any opinions?

hi, i'm Francisco from Spain, I hope you excuse my poor English I have been an avid reader of modern horror but mostly American being my favourites Stephen King, T.E.D. Klein, Karl Edward Wagner, Dennis Etchison, Charles L Grant, Robert R McCammon, Dan Simmons, Peter Straub... and some English like Graham Masterton, Clive Barker and Ramsey Campbell.
The thing is I'm now reading The rats by James Herbert and I'm enjoying it a lot, fast pace, very good psychological sketches of the characters... and I want more, apart from the sequels wich other English pulp horror of this decades 70-80 are interesting? something gore or related with animal attacks? can you suggest me some basic tittles please? and apart from VOE are there some more web pages or blogs about English horror novels from this years? covers?
I'm eager to read some of this books, thanks in advance

I have read lots of "good" things about him on the net but I haven't read anything by him, what is the best novel to start with? I'm reading Spawn and later I'm thinking about Renegades. Are interesting tittles or should I start with Slugs?

I'm reading it and it is becoming more and more interesting, the style of Campbell at first was a bit difficult for me but when you read through the book the plot and the story become almost a page turner, from Campbell I only have read Midnight sun (excellent) and a few stories in anthologies but I'm going to read more Campbell, at least he has the fortune of having been translated to Spanish, not like other giants of modern horror like Karl Edward Wagner, Dennis Etchison, Charles L Grant or Steve Rasnic Tem

hello everybody, I'm Francisco from Spain, I'm new here, I'm a reader of horror fiction and I enjoy specially anthologies, but I have a handicap I forget stories shortly after read them, it occurs the same to you or you have a good memory? a list with a little plot could be the solution for me, but lazyness is killing me jejeje
I hope you excuse my por English, by the way I'm now reading the Spanish translation of The influence by Mr Campbell jejeje
