Swiped from around the board; A mini-gallery of horror/ SF covers is best I can manage. A far more representative selection would include such titles as Memoirs of a Harem Girl (" ... a supposed long lost erotic autobiography, with a suitably cheesy cover photo); Gavin Cunningham, Gay Power: The Homosexual Revolt; Naughty but Dead, an Erik March mystery by the creators of Honey West; Morton Cooper, The Private Life of a Strip-tease Artist ("... a Hollywood actress dogged by rumours of a past in stag movies and multiple husbands"); Frank Long's The Horror Expert ("a poor attempt, with a bitchy publisher hated by everyone, shot dead in her office"); 'Sean O'Shea's Invasion of the Nymphomaniacs "A squeeze play in a 'falsies' factory might bust it for Valentine Flynn"); Gil Scott-Heron's The Vulture; Badger books legend Pel Torro's Beyond the Barrier of Space (Belmont also reprinted at least two A. J. Merak novels from same source); The Long-suppressed Erotic Tales of Sacher-Masoch; Jacqueline, Daughter of the Marquis de Sade, and Malcolm Kent's The Terror Above Us (according to the author; "The world's first account of two men abducted by aliens and forced to have sex with a beautiful girl, who may well be a robot. Even more frightening and sexy because it is non-fiction.") All of the above and hundreds more feature in this latest, very gorgeous Fanatic. Justin writes: "If this issue proves to be a success, then I plan to repeat the exercise for Panther books, Pinnacle books, Daw books and to revise the New English Library Guide." Dashiell Hammett [ed.] - The Red Brain, 1961. Michael Avallone - Tales of the Frightened, 1962. Robert Bloch - Terror, 1962. Frank Belknap Long - Odd Science Fiction, 1964. Bernhardt J. Hurwood - Monsters and Nightmares, 1967. Robert Bloch - The Living Demons, 1967. Peter Saxon - Vampire's Moon, 1970. Robert Bloch - Dragons & Nightmares, 1972. |
