It's a dark and scary world. Pans are tabid. Blood, guts, and gore
are the norm. Welcome to the horror genre. Horror classics have
been scaring people for years. Nowadays, who doesn't know about
Stephen King, Anne Rice, and Dean Koontz? Profiled in a special
section, the ""Big Three"" have turned horror into best-sellers.
For all the horror fans that haunt your library, this is the
must-have guide. Readers' advisors and reference librarians will
appreciate the key tools provided to expand upon this genre,
including listings of top books, authors, and award winners within
eleven horror subgenres - like mummies, biomedical, monsters, and
splatterpunk. Clear descriptions of characteristics within
subgenres are provided throughout. To further help you engage new
renders, expert horror mavens Spratford and Clausen draw a savvy
connection between film and horror as a potent reminder that the
scariest movies have been adapted from novels. Their classic and
contemporary recommendations like Rebecca, The Shining, and
Rosemary's Baby reinforce activities between readers' advisors and
library programming and open up the (cellar) door for further
patron involvement. Readers' advisors and reference librarians will
also learn The art of the readers' advisory interview for horror;
Strategies to develop, and tools to market, the horror collection;
Tacties for introducing non-horror readers to the genre; Where to
go for more details and resources; Honor may be an acquired taste,
but under the guidance of two passionate aficionados, any librarian
can master the basics to add horror into readers' advisory
services.
