In early 2010, Will Errickson began the blog Too Much Horror Fiction, devoted to collecting and reviewing the best--and worst--in paperback horror from the 1960s through the early 1990s, as well as celebrating its resplendent cover art. A teenager during the great 1980s paperback horror boom, Will discovered Lovecraft, King, Barker, Campbell, Machen, Jackson, Etchison, et al, while still in high school. In college he worked in a used bookstore which strengthened his love of vintage paperbacks (of many genres) and deepened his appreciation for horror.

With Grady Hendrix in 2017, Will co-wrote the Bram Stoker Award-winning book PAPERBACKS FROM HELL: THE TWISTED HISTORY OF 1970s & 1980s HORROR FICTION, which featured many of his own books from

RIP Thomas Tessier (1947 - 2026)

Another completely unexpected death of a major horror author: Thomas Tessier died at the age of 78 on March 26th. If you've been reading Too Much Horror Fiction for long, you'll know he's one of my favorites; I discovered him in 1989 or 1990 while working in a used bookstore and picked up Finishing Touches on a whim, thanks to its come-hither cover art. It was an honor to get that book

Harlan Ellison
“You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your informed opinion. No one is entitled to be ignorant.”
Harlan Ellison

Clive Barker
“[Horror fiction] shows us that the control we believe we have is purely illusory, and that every moment we teeter on chaos and oblivion.”
Clive Barker

Carl Sagan
“I would love to believe that when I die I will live again, that some thinking, feeling, remembering part of me will continue. But as much as I want to believe that, and despite the ancient and worldwide cultural traditions that assert an afterlife, I know of nothing to suggest that it is more than wishful thinking.”
Carl Sagan, Billions & Billions: Thoughts on Life and Death at the Brink of the Millennium

Raymond Chandler
“I was neat, clean, shaved and sober and I didn't care who knew it.”
Raymond Chandler

Clive Barker
“I think that God that we have created and allowed to shape our culture through, essentially Christian theology is a pretty villainous creature. I think that one of the things that male patriarchal figure has done is, allowed under it's, his church, his wing, all kinds of corruptions and villainies to grow and fester. In the name of that God terrible wars have been waged, in the name of that God terrible sexism has been allowed to spread. There are children being born all across this world that don't have enough food to eat because that God, at least his church, tells the mothers and fathers that they must procreate at all costs, and to prevent procreation with a condom is in contravention with his laws. Now, I don't believe that God exists. I think that God is creation of men, by men, and for men. What has happened over the many centuries now, the better part of two thousand in fact, is that that God has been slowly and steadily accruing power. His church has been accruing power, and the men who run that church, and they are all men, are not about to give it up. If they give it up, they give up luxury, they give up comfort.”
Clive Barker
