商品簡介
Part of the ALA series designed to provide resources and support to library reader advisers, this second edition has been updated to reflect the current trends in horror fiction including vampire fiction and horror comedy/parody, but includes a healthy dose of the classics. As with other guides in the series, this guide includes a crash course in all things horror, a history of the genre, a section outlining its enduring appeal and patron marketing suggestions. Sections examine different types of horror fiction and provide reading suggestions based on the enjoyment of any particular genre or author, and are written with a sense of humor and obvious affinity for the subject, if a bit rife with puns.
