Zebra 1990's Horror Line List
Zebra Gothics Line (80s, 90s)
This now buried publisher released dozens and dozens of goodies in the late 70s, 80s, and part of the 90s. They were known for their pulpy and outrageously fun horror covers. You will likely recognize several of these by the covers and nostalgia. They liked paranormal, haunted houses, cheesy vampires, demonic activity, demented dolls, and of COURSE Evil Children.
Due to Goodread's policy that will not let me add more than 100 books to a list, I have capped out and can not add more that I know belong here.
If you add some books, only add books to this list that were published in the 80's under the ZEBRA line.

Due to Goodread's policy that will not let me add more than 100 books to a list, I have capped out and can not add more that I know belong here.Why don't you post the remaining ones in comment? I (or someone else looking at the list) can then add them.

That's not a bad idea - sorry I didn't see this comment sooner. I don't know that there is a definite list anywhere, but I could keep searching.
Down on the Farm by John Stchur is St. Martin's Press, and Schoolhouse by Lee Duigon is Pinnacle, not Zebra. Thanks for taking the time to compile this!
