dark funny informative fast-paced

3.5

The narrator was great but since this is a reference book, do get a physical or ebook copy (I think there's also illustrations/photos so even more reason). There are so many unhinged books now I am very curious to read

5.0

A funny and interesting look at the horror paperback boom of the 1970s and 80s. I especially liked the spotlights given to cover artists of note, given how much people do judge a cover. Less insane than I was expecting in terms of content, but not by much.
