RA for All: Horror: Third Edition Bonus Content: More Subgenre Annotations [Updated August 2021]

When I was writing the Third Edition of the Readers' Advisory Guide to Horror, I originally had over 20 annotated choices per subgenre appearing in chapter 4-13. However, for word count sake, I had to reduce each lists to a well packaged dozen. Obviously making the cuts was hard, but I was able to include the tittles of those deleted annotations in an appendix at the end of the book with a promise that the annotations would run here on the blog.

Each list was posted on the blog over a series of weeks to promote the release of the book in the summer of 2021. This page is the official home of those annotated lists so people can find them as they encounter the blog.

In the book, my top three choices in each list are marked to denote Becky's Picks. I will also do that in these lists to give you a place to begin as you suggest. Just like the titles in the print book, every title appearing here is a great options for all public libraries. You can use these lists for collection development, displays, lists, and suggestions. Each subgenre has an essay discussing its history and appeal in the book which you can order here. And if you use the code RGH21 at check out you get $5 off!
