Until today I had never heard of this series,
Night Hunter, first published in the States in the late 1980s by Charter Books.
Robert Faulcon is a pen name of respected British dark fantasy author
Robert Holdstock. The
series seems to be an odd mash-up of men's adventure novels and pulpy occult horror fiction. In the anthology I'm reading right now there's an ad for the series, so while I'm finishing that book and working up a review, check out these perfectly vintage paperback covers! Read a review
here.

Fun books!
Though the covers you show are godawful. I much prefer the disturbing British (?) ones. Example here:

Man! People forget how popular horror novels were in the late 70s and into the late 80s. I wish it was still the case!
So do I James! Just trying to keep it alive here.
These books hold a special place on my over-burdened shelves, right next to my James Herbert, Guy N. Smith, and various pulpy "animal on the hunt" books. If you can find them, they're a MOSTLY fun read.
