31 Days of Horror-- Day 9: Resource Worth Your Time: This is Horror

One of the most important charges I have given myself with this blog, is to make librarians aware of the best horror resources available to them.

I keep an archive of my favorites here, but from time to time I highlight some of the very best in a little more detail with a post of their own.  You can use the label link for “resources" to pull all of these up with one click.

Today, I want to tell you about one of my FAVORITE horror portals, This is Horror.

This is Horror, is a UK based operation that considers the world of horror, but with a firm foundation in the written word.  This is important to note because many horror resources are more film or pop culture based.  It is hard to find one that is so well done with a books focus.

They have columns, reviews, sponsor live events, and help promote and sell books.  And their podcast is great! They also provide THE BEST weekly roundup of horror on the web.  Seriously, if you simply read their 5 Must Read Horror Articles weekly, you will have a full picture of what is going on in the world of horror.

So stop reading this blog and go to This is Horror and let them speak for themselves.
