Vintage Book Advertising: September, 1986

A good friend sent me an old issue of Mystery Scenefrom September, 1986. The content is fascinating for readers with an interest in pretty much anything being published in popular fiction in the mid-1980s: mystery, horror, suspense.

There are interviews with authors—including John D. MacDonald, Stephen J. Cannell, Graham Masterton, John Lutz (and others)—book and movie reviews, publishing news—Is PaperJacks making an offer to buy Pinnacle?—a column by Warren Murphy and a bunch of other cool stuff. 

There are full page book advertisements, too. And for a book junkie like me, these ads are almost  as good as the magazine’s actual content. In fact, I liked them so much I decided to share a few of the advertisments for horror novels here.

Now, if I could the address for the magical bookstore where I can purchase these books brand new.
