I loved this a lot. Becky Spratford has collected 18 essays from some of today‘s best horror authors on why they love horror. My favorites came from Brian Keene, David Demchuck, Paul Tremblay, and Grady Hendrix. Really wtf, Grady? His was soooooo good. He starts his essay talking about the time he found the severed arm of a small child in his father‘s refrigerator. It is wild. And sad. Most of these are how made up horror allows them to👇🏼

Reggie deal with the real horrors of the world around them. Super pick! 16h
