Ghastly Beyond Belief gathers the sharpest barbs of Kim Newman and Neil Gaiman in one gloriously off-beat 1985 Arrow first edition. Their shared love of vintage horror, pulp SF and British humour fuels a snappy short-story collection that slips from laugh-out-loud to deliciously creepy in a sentence.

Collectors prize this debut paperback for its era-specific Arrow styling and the early pairing of two genre titans. Pages remain bright and unmarked, with only faint press flaws that slipped past 1980s quality control; the spine is square and the binding tight.

Light edge wear and a touch of scuffing to the closed page block keep this copy honest without spoiling shelf presence. It’s an affordable way to secure a first-print slice of ’80s British genre history, perfect for fans of weird fiction, dark fantasy and cult quotations.

Slip this vintage horror-fantasy paperback into a protective sleeve and you’ll have a conversation piece that rewards both reading and display.
