Demon land
Demon Country (Subtitles from Issue 5: The best horror novels of our time ) was a horror - Heftroman series, which from 1989 to 1996 with a total of 176 expenditure Bastei appeared. The majority of the editions were reprints of stories that had already appeared in other series, in particular from the ghost crime and vampire horror novel series .
General
The series first appeared on October 10, 1989, every 14 days. Initially, mainly novels from the Bastei series Ghost Crime were reprinted. In total, 18 new novels (23, 50, 52, 75, 86, 100, 107, 109, 111, 114, 120, 132, 136, 141, 145, 150, 152 & 168) were written for this series. After a break of several years, a new Tony Ballard novel appeared in this series , which linked the end of the Tony Ballard booklet series with the new Tony Ballard novels published by Zaubermond Verlag . Wolfgang Hohlbein's series Der Witcher von Salem also experienced a short-lived continuation. Similar to the ghost thriller, the series consisted of individual novels and small sub-series that had no connection with each other. The subsequent editions have been partially revised.
Since volume 15 there has been a review of the old cover picture on page 3. A lexicon of magic is contained in numbers 1-15. From volume 50, but not in every volume, the lexicon " The best horror films of all times " was included (authors: Frank Rehfeld and Michael Schönenbröcher ). Volume 100 contains the worst horror film of all time . Numbers 31, 36, 40, 44, 50, 52, 59, 62, 67, 74, 100 contain author portraits.
The issues appeared biweekly, the length was 66 pages. The price rose from DM 1.60 at the beginning to DM 2.50 at the end. The series was discontinued on July 9, 1996 with volume 176.
