100 Screams of Summer
We think of summer as the season of light, but shadows are longest when the sun is highest. It is the time of the year when the woods grow too thick to see through, the water grows too dark to see into, and the heat makes the mind play tricks. From the rotting porches of the South to the blood-stained cabins of the North... We call them the Summer Nightmares.

Inhumanoid from Paperbacks from Hell by Hendrix
Chapter seven from Grady Hendrix’s Paperbacks from Hell. This book focuses on horror paperbacks from the ‘70s and ‘80s. These books are from this chapter Inhumanoids.
In this chapter Hendrix explores the inhumanoids often found in these horror paperbacks, emphasizing them as often being stand ins for the “foreign”, non American people, likely an allegory in some cases for xenophobia.
See my previous (and future) lists for the books from the other chapters from Hendrix’s book.
