Excerpt:
In horror we meet people who’ve faced our choices and even worse ones, but nevertheless —sometimes—have come out intact. So horror does two things. It gives us warning . Also it shows us that—at least sometimes —if we have the spirit we might still, somehow, make it out the other side too.
In this book thirteen authors attempt to find out what makes horror work—and how you, as a writer, might take up the torch and pass on the legends, the true stories with them.
