October is over, but remember, this blog is here all year long for you to find scary reads for your patrons. During my annual 31 Days blog-thon, I try to focus more on how to use this blog as a resource and providing examples of the appeal of Horror directly from those who ply cares as their trade.
But rather than sifting through dozens of Why I Love Horror posts, there is an excellent quick resource from 14 of today's most popular Horror authors writing about the appeal of Horror via CrimeReads. Click here to access but here are the authors who are featured:
V. Castro (Queen of the Cicadas), Rachel Harrison (Cackle), Grady Hendrix (The Final Girl Support Group), Gabino Iglesias (Both Sides of the Border), Stephen Graham Jones (My Heart is a Chainsaw), Alma Katsu (Red Widow), Cassandra Khaw (Nothing But Blackened Teeth), Jess Lourey (Litani), James Han Mattson (Reprieve), Josh Malerman (Pearl), Gus Moreno (This Thing Between Us), Riley Sager (Survive The Night), Cadwell Turnbull (No Gods, No Monsters) and Catriona Ward (The Last House on Needless Street).
Halloween is over, yes, but Horror readers didn't just go back into their coffins for another 11 months. They are everywhere and you still need to help them. This article is a great, quick way to get up to speed on the genre by a wide range of authors who write across the spectrum of scares.
But again, don't forget that this web resource is here every single day of the year and I have plenty of archived links, resources, and review access to help you help your scariest readers.
