"Over the years, we had already published about a dozen or so of the books featured in Paperbacks From Hell, and, like everybody else, we had a lot of fun with all the great horror covers in Grady Hendrix's book, so a Paperbacks From Hell series seemed like a great idea and a perfect project for us," says James D. Hendrix had already written several introductions for Valancourt books, so when Valancourt read through his horror history book, they knew it could spark a new series. The story started at another publisher entirely: Quirk Books, which in 2017 published a history of 70s and 80s horror paperbacks by author Grady Hendrix, Paperbacks From Hell , which took a loving but irreverent romp through all of retro horror fiction's exorcisms, killer animals and, in one case, Nazi leprechauns.

This is from the back cover blurb of Shanna: "Behind the walls of Newgate Prison a secret pact is sealed, as a condemned man consents to wed a beautiful, free-spirited heiress thereby rescuing her from an unwanted arranged union."

As Martin writes, "In 111 AC, a great tourney was held at King's Landing on the fifth anniversary of the king's marriage to Queen Alicent. The court then divides itself into those who support Rhaenyra's claim and those who support that of Alicent and her sons. But soon after, he remarries Alicent Hightower, and Alicent gives birth to sons, including Aegon, her eldest child. The main question becomes: Who will succeed Viserys? Will it be his brother, Prince Daemon? His daughter, Princess Rhaenyra? After Viserys's first wife, Aemma, dies, he names Rhaenyra his heir. ( Here's a family tree of all the Targaryens.) But, most relevant for House of the Dragon viewers are the chapters that start with "Heirs of the Dragon," which focus on what happens following the reign of King Jaehaeyrs I Targaryen when King Viserys I takes the throne. The book is a history of the Targaryen family, starting with Aegon the Conqueror.

Huchu′s The Library of the Dead, a sharp contemporary fantasy following a precocious and cynical teen as she explores the shadowy magical underside of modern Edinburgh. The Sixth Sense meets Stranger Things in T. Consider the absurdity that most of the manga’s horror scenes come not from the evils that Tomie (the monster) commits, but the awful ways in which she is murdered by otherwise ordinary men.Īlthough the few positive characters of Tomie are female, most of the female characters end up caught in same vicious cycle of self-destruction as the men. When a man is put under Tomie’s spell he is always driven to murder others and eventually Tomie herself. Undeniably, Tomie compels men to murder by just being near them. Thankfully, it’s not and the distinction is that while Tomie is most definitely a monster, ALL the men wind up losing themselves to madness and murder. Wherever Tomie goes havoc ensues, innocent people suffer and die in incredibly gruesome ways and if it were left only at that Tomie might be one of the most misogynistic mangas out there. On many levels Tomie is the classic femme fatale, beautiful, seductive and ultimately completely selfish.
