|author= Grady Hendrix
|title= Paperbacks from Hell: A History of Horror Fiction from the '70s and '80s
|rating= 4.5
|genre= Horror
|summary= Demonic possession, murderous babies, man-eating moths… for these books, no plot was too ludicrous, no cover art too appalling, no evil too despicable. Now horror author Grady Hendrix risks his soul and his sanity (not to mention the reader's!) to relate the true, untold story of a fascinating and often forgotten era in publishing.
Read the synapse-shattering story summaries!<br>
See the horrific hand-painted cover imagery!<br>
And learn the true-life tales of the writers, artists, and publishers who gleefully violated every literary law but one – never be boring.

|summary=It's difficult to believe that it's the 30th anniversary of the first publication of ''Great Britain Concise'', but this is the thirty-first edition, with just under 500 pages and over three and a half thousand illustrations. It feels almost painful to look back to the days when the choice was between the ''Collect British Stamps'' series which never pretended (or pretends) to be more than a checklist (but got many people off to a sound start - myself included) and the specialised series, which is beyond the purse of many amateur collectors. ''Great Britain Concise'' sits comfortably between the two extremes with an affordable cover price.
