7/6/2023 0 Comments Goodnight Moom by Jack MacLaneIf you're looking for a read totally indicative of what the fascination is with these books, check out Goodnight Moom. This is truly something that could only exist in the alternate universe where books like this had a mass audience the alternate universe that is the late 80s/early 90s. It would never see the light of day in 2020, not by a major successful publisher. This book is exactly the type of book that has given cult-like demand to old mass market horror paperbacks. On the other hand, it is so bizarrely written and charming in its approach to the story, so gory and meanspirited, SUCH an emblematic time capsule of horror novels in the 1980s, that I can't not recommend it. It's got a paper thin plot, and it's written with the tact, prose and intellect of a pubescent boy. On one hand, Goodnight Moom, is absolute trash.
