Much of what is in this essay about horror films translates to the appeal of the book form of horror too.
If you love to be scared by a horror book or movie, read this essay.
I would also like to thank Zinoman's publishing team for executing one of the issues I bring up in my new book--- Horror should not only be discussed in October. Zinoman's book was published this summer and is getting a lot of press. Good for him, but more importantly, good for horror as a genre. He is proving what we at the library already knew-- people like to be scared all year long.
