An invaluable tool for librarians to help connect readers to the horror that will fit, it is also the perfect resource to put into words what horror fans already know; it is a rich genre that deserves respect.

A handful of decent titles in this book, with decent chapter separations for subgenres. King and Koontz are both mentioned as the "big" names in horror, but not featured in over-abundance in the title lists. Most of the authors I have already come across, but there were a few new ones that sounded interesting that I might add to my shelves.

It’s 7 years old at this point, but this book is still helpful and informative about the horror genre, its appeal, and the big players (though there are many new ones since publication).
