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 genre into top-13 lists. Enjoy detailed reviews and analysis in categories such as The 13 Most Deranged Horror Director Debuts, The 13 Horror Movie Adaptations That Are Better Than the Book, and The 13 Most Terrifying Horror Film Soundtracks. These chapters, together with in-depth conversations with musicians, demonstrate how horror has penetrated our culture in more ways than we know. Fans of experimental cinema, heavy metal, industrial music, comics, and the occult will be delighted to see their favorite, yet far too often critically marginalized, works of art reviewed with a fresh, exhilarating voice."

Does it make me a bad person that I laughed a little at this plot description?

Riveted_Reader_Melissa No, it started out very intense, but as it ended with voluptuous victims I started to laugh too...don't know if it's just the early morning hr but as soon as I got to that part it went from sounding dreadful to sounding like the intro to some 50 Shades romance. I think it was just poor word choice. 8y
