![]() Doesn't look like George wrote anything after the mid-'90s, either. ![]() ![]() I really can't believe these covers were still popular in the early '90s I associate this type of pulpy tastelessness with the 1980s. Grandma's Little Darling (1990) Sure, why not use the tagline from Cronenberg's version of The Fly? Nobody remembers where it came from anyway.ĭark Reunion (1990) Masked a legacy of cliche is more like it. The Forgotten (1991) I think my best friend in junior high drew this during study hall and passed it to me after class. Like Near Dead (1992) above, Dark Miracle (1989) appeals to the psychologically healthy among us who dig corruption of little girls.īeasts (1989) I much prefer canine teeth as fangs than the current "True Blood" style that use incisors as fangs those kind look truly ridiculous to me. It really is one of the most dumbfounding covers I've ever seen, more reminiscent of a cheap 1980s VHS box cover for some ghastly shot-on-video atrocity than an actual book. When I first came across the ludicrously grotesque cover for Nightscape (1992), thanks to The Mighty Blowhole, I was gobsmacked. ![]() At least he left behind a couple howlers of paperback covers-the artist of several is Richard Newton.

This time it's an author I only recently heard of, Stephen R. ![]() More tacky, foil-stamped, overwrought horror paperback cover art from the esteemed publisher Zebra Books. ![]()
