We peer into terror in ‘paper maze‘, the fantastic literature podcast that we do at Xataka in collaboration with Minotauro, and we do it with a couple of new features that combine classic and modern. On the one hand, an essay that delves into the disconcerting and insane world of horror paperbacks from the eighties. And on the other, a compilation of stories focused on black horror, the subgenre most concerned with the most terrible and chilling side of racial conflicts.
For this he accompanies us Bernard J. Lemanan expert in horror literature with whom we break down these two volumes edited by Minotauro, and which confront the past, present and future of the genre in a unique mix.
- Paperbacks from Hell is the work of Grady Hendrix, author of novels that we have already talked about here, such as ‘How to sell a haunted house‘. Here he writes a wonderful essay analyzing with detail and a sense of humor the incredible panorama of brutal and exploitative horror literature of the eighties. With a chilling selection of covers and a good edition by Minotauro, which has taken care of the translations of the titles that have been published in Spain, it is an essential volume for anyone who wants to find out more about how the horror genre has gotten to where it is right now. .
- Jordan Peele, director of films like ‘Let Me Out’, ‘Nope’ and ‘Us’ is responsible for compiling the stories of ‘out there screaming‘, a volume of horror noire perfect for entering very uncomfortable areas of the genre. All the stories in the book have a racial component, and all genres are explored: from pure and simple satire to new meat, including horror of manners. Varied and very combative.
