The Night Hunter Series by Robert Faulcon

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.

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

  3. Man! People forget how popular horror novels were in the late 70s and into the late 80s. I wish it was still the case!

  5. 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.
