Really, they're both sorta disappointing and, oddly enough, lesser in relation to the similar works involving Dracula the two authors did. But boy, Saberhagen's Dracula series is a favourite, though not really horror per se. The Dracula Tapes could just as easily be called The Nitpicker's Guide to Dracula by Dracula, and the Dracula/Holmes team-ups (The Holmes/Dracula File, Seance for a Vampire) are great fun.
Too Much Horror Fiction collects and reviews vintage horror literature (mostly from the 1960s to the early 1990s) and celebrates its resplendent paperback cover art. Welcome!
With Grady Hendrix, I co-wrote the Stoker Award-winning PAPERBACKS FROM HELL: THE TWISTED HISTORY OF '70s AND '80s HORROR FICTION (2017) from Quirk Books. I also own a couple thousand vintage paperbacks most of which are horror but also SF, crime, & general fiction. Always adding more to the home library!
Looking for a forgotten horror novel or short story? Remember the paperback cover art but not the title or author? Send me an email at toomuchhorrorfiction[at]gmail.com describing it and if I don't know it, one of my readers might!

Are you calling Kingsley Amis a liar?!?
