This is a great collection of essays for not only horror fans but also for those trying to understand their identity (or a loved one’s identity) in horror terms. As an audiobook format, I think their choices of narrators were fantastic and engaging even if I myself was struggling with the topic at hand (which was rare btw). I enjoyed getting to hear not only the authors’ connections with the film(s) that they chose for their essays and how they were able to combine historical and personal experiences. There were a few that I wanted to highlight as my ‘faves’ (mainly ones that opened my opinion on the topic itself) and will list them below with no context (because I want y’all to read this book).
