Literary Horror discussion

I just finished Deadly Affections by Billie Sue Mosiman. That book was published in August of 1990. At the back were listings of other horror titles being sold by Pocket Books. Who was alive to remember mainstream 1980s horror titles? To determine just how much you really know the history of the genre, how many of these titles and authors do you recognize today?

Final question: how many of these might be forgotten literary horror classics?

For me, it's
Titles: 2
Authors: 3

For me, it's about a dozen authors that I recognize. Thank you for providing this list! I'm going to be looking up those that I don't recognize.

Of those authors, I'd say that McCammon & Straub have achieved popular recognition. Although there were a number of titles by him on the list that I didn't recognize.

Douglas Clegg was everywhere during the heyday of Leisure Books (earlier 2000s.) I've read a few of his including Goat Dance. I'd recommend him if you like King. (I think he's better, but there's clearly an influence.)

Tom Piccirilli was one of my favorites during that time as well.

I've read Ghost Story by Straub, and Stinger by McCammon. Live Girls by Garton (had to wait until I could find the original paperback as the reprint is hideous.)

I read a few of the Hot Blood anthologies.
