In the 1980s, a handful of writers — Clive Barker, David J. Schow, Joe R. Lansdale, and John Skipp & Craig Spector — inadvertently kicked off a seismic shift in literary horror. Less a conscious revolution than a spontaneous eruption of the arts, these restless artists bucked against the constraints of conventional horror,...

Adam Cesare wrote two of the best books I’ve read this year – Tribesmen and Video Night. Video Night in particular struck a chord with me by perfectly capturing that mid-’80s vibe when tons of horror movies, good and (mostly) bad, were being churned out and could be easily found at your local video store.
