Fascinating and Useful

This book is fascinating and remarkably useful. it`s great both for browsing and for reference. I`ve already bought and read two books I found described here and have added several more to my "to read" list. Hooked on Horror is worth the price for anyone who likes horror stories--not only is it enjoyable in itself, but it leads you to other reading within your areas of interest that you may never have known abou otherwise. I know that's true for me.

An important, scholarly, seminal, benchmark reference work.

They examine the best-selling hits of the past decade and unearth many undiscovered or forgotten literary treasures of the genre. They trace the history, trends, and appeals of this unique body of literature in all its various permutations with insight and humor, offering a reader's advisory with a lively and thorough introduction to the genre. Hooked On Horror is a seminal work of impressive scholarship that will be a valued reference for educators, librarians, booksellers, writers and fans.
