That would be amazing. I mean, at least point I would take a genre mass market paperback boom in any genre whatsoever. But one in horror would be super fun.

I think it would be so much fun! I've been reading some of those old paperbacks lately and just keep wishing for this, especially now that horror fiction isn't looked on so much as being something "weird" or "satanic" how it was at others times. (and I agree that it would be awesome if it happened with other genres too!)

You may get your wish OP.

Barnes and Noble is going to copy more of a Waterstones strategy (b/c new CEO is from Waterstones, go figure.) And they're going to focus less (I guess) on the 2 for 1 paperback sales, and at the same time, won't be stocking as many hardbacks (only going for lead titles.) So, if trad publishers get the memo (hard to say,) you may be seeing more debut stuff coming out in paperback again. And with paperback being less expensive, we'll see if they start publishing more books. (Also, hard to say.)

Otherwise, most mass market/pulp type fiction has flooded Amazon through KDP. And there's plenty of horror among them. Horror isn't my fave so I'm afraid I can't give recs. I wish I could b/c searching the 'Zon can be such a pain.

I agree! That would be cool.

As someone who read every one of those cheap horror paperbacks I could get my hands on in the 80s, yeah they were fun with great covers, but damn so many of them were forgettable or just plain awful lol. See Good Night Moom (yep, Moom!) for a spectacularly bad one!

I love those covers, whenever I pick one up I think, oh yeah, this is gonna be fun! :D
