These editions are some of the most popular and sought after novels featured in Paperbacks from Hell, and I am so excited that they have been made available!

TONIGHT THE KIDS ARE TAKING CARE OF THE BABYSITTER

“They’re just kids…It’s only a game.” That’s what Barbara, a lovely twenty-year-old babysitter told herself when she awoke bound and gagged. But the knots were tight and painful and the children would not let her go.

“They’re just kids…It’s only a game,” she told herself again. But the terror was real…and deadly!

In the decades since its original publication, Mendal W. Johnson’s best-seller Let’s Go Play at the Adams’ (1974) has gained a reputation as one of the most harrowing horror novels ever written, and copies have long been unobtainable except at exorbitant prices.

Synopsis

One of the finest and best-selling horror novels of the 1970s returns at last to chill a new generation of readers

In the isolated farming community of Harlowe, New Hampshire, where life has changed little over the past several decades, John Moore and his wife Mim work the land that has been in his family for generations. But from the moment the charismatic Perly Dunsmore arrives in town and starts soliciting donations for his auctions, things begin slowly and insidiously to change in Harlowe. As the auctioneer carries out his terrible, inscrutable plan, the Moores and their neighbors will find themselves gradually but inexorably stripped of their possessions, their freedom, and perhaps even their lives by the ominous presence of a stranger impossible to resist…

Synopsis

This edition also includes an afterword by the author’s husband.

Sally Ann and Martha. Two women, searching for love. Finding terror.

During a terrifying storm, a gentle childhood is destroyed by a twisted man who promises love but delivers nightmare.

In the lightless depths of an underground labyrinth, unseen creatures lie in wait for an innocent traveler, cold skeletal hands stretched out in welcome.

There is horror in darkness—horror made greater WHEN DARKNESS LOVES US

Synopsis

This edition also features the original foreword by science fiction legend Theodore Sturgeon, and the original cover painting by Jill Bauman.

THE KILLER INSTINCT OF HIS BREED HAS NEVER DIED. IT LIVES AGAIN IN HELL HOUND.

There is never laughter in this house; only the dull sounds of age and weakness. But I am not weak. I have a strength and resourcefulness that the old woman probably never had.

What are the possibilities of my strength? That is a thought I have never had before. What if some morning as the old woman stood at the head of the staircase she were suddenly to feel a weight thrusting against the back of her legs? What if she were to lunge forward, grasping at the air, striking her thin skull against the edge of a stair? What would become of me if she were found unmoving at the bottom of the stairway?

Someone else would love me, as she has loved me. I’m certain of that. People have a great interest in love. They see it everywhere; probably even in me.

Synopsis

These editions are essential to add to your horror collection, and they are a great way to start off spooky season!
