A gazillion megawatts of creepily beautiful eye candy is just the jumping off point in this compendium of eerie awesomeness! While collecting the outrageous covers of these 70s-80s horror pulps, journalist and author Grady Hendrix also amassed a wealth of knowledge about the books, the authors, and the artists that propelled this prolific and horrorific genre.
A perfect Halloween gift if you roll that way.
