Horror fiction might be the most divisive of all the fiction genres. Love it or hate it\, people seem to always fall into one of those two camps. Why do the readers who devour horror tales s eem to do it so voraciously? It could be that horror stories allow us to i magine the unimaginable. Horror takes us places we would never really want to go. But we get to experience those trips from in-between the pages and the safety of our own homes. Horror shines a light on our deepest fears a s much as it shines a light on society and human behavior. Good vs. evil. Known vs. the unknown. Life vs. death. These are some of the most basic pl ights of humankind.

If you look a little deeper\, horror novels ar e just as likely to deliver an important message as fictional literature\, though some might say the ride is more fun. Meet our resident horror read er. He won't let you leave without a scary story for your nightstand.  \; \;
