This collection of carefully curated lists, articles, and interviews celebrates the beleaguered horror genre across different media while tracing the history of its acceptance into popular culture. Divided into four sections Film, Television, Literature & Comic Books, and Music this book groups horror movies from the Silent Era to today, as well as classic horror books and cult musical albums, into top-13 lists.
And now I have a list of things to watch, read and listen to. This books isn't your typical site down and read all the way through book. I mean you can read it like that, I did, but it is more of a causal read over time so you can check out the recommendations as you go. I loved this. I love horror in small spurts. This is my go to genre when I'm burnt out with everything else so having a reference list of things to read, watch and listen to when I need it is amazing! I think this was a great breakdown of different areas. I especially like the sections on horror movies better than the book and the horror comic artists. This is a great reference for all things scary, dark and well repulsive!
