Many perspectives on horror literature

Becky Siegel Spratford brings together essays by contemporary horror writers including Grady Hendrix, Paul Tremblay, Stephen Graham Jones, Josh Malerman, Victor LaValle, Tananarive Due, and Rachel Harrison. The collection frames horror as a genre worth exploring and celebrating, with Spratford’s background in library reader advisory providing context for its invitation to bring more readers to horror. Its focus is on writers’ perspectives and the genre itself, making it a nonfiction companion to horror fiction rather than a guide to any single novel or subgenre.
