Paperbacks from Hell I have heard just awesome things and its won awards. I haven’t read it myself but it’s on my to read list for sure.

You 100% want to grab yourself a copy of Grady Hendrix's Paperbacks From Hell, which will provide you with more delightfully awful 70s/80s horror than you can poke a sharp stick at. (And to sweeten the deal, some of those books have been reissued - with introductions by Hendrix - under the aegis of Valancourt Press, who, truly, are doing the Lord's work.)

For my part, I'll recommend Cathy Cash Spellman's Bless The Child. This book has everything: New Age bookstore owners who double as axe-wielding warrior princesses, a lead character who is way too young and beautiful to be a grandmother (which you'll know because literally every damn character spends about three pages marveling at how young and beautiful she is and how they can't believe she's a grandmother), Satanic nannies who keep severed goat heads in their closets, astral-plane sex, a theology that seems to draw from just about every religion that's ever existed up to and including the ones that involve Atlantis, an evil cult leader who uses Gmail, sweary demons, and the deathless line "STAND BACK! THIS HOST IS CONSECRATED!!!"

It was featured in Paperbacks from Hell, which I highly recommend if you're...me.
