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.
