Horror: A Literary History by Xavier Aldana Reyes
informative
medium-paced
4.0
This is a non-fiction history of the literary genres of Gothic and horror. It covers the time period from the mid 1700's to the late 2010's. It delves into different authors and different books that were important to the genres, for the most part in the US and the UK. It is a series of essays written by different authors, each covering a specific time period.
I found it to be interesting and informative. I especially liked the lists of references and further reading suggestions at the end of each chapter. It was nice to have clear lists of all the books that had been discussed.
