Apparently I read horror now.
But like, for a very specific definition of horror.
Creepy houses with self aware protagonists and the creeping awfulness that just doesn't stop? Yeah, sure!
(Sometimes it seems like the difference between fantasy and horror is just who is left holding the blade.)
The really interesting thing to me is that, while I don't read a lot of horror, we are all very familiar with the tropes of horror so watching things unfold with the meta-fiction-ing that the characters are doing works...assuming you don't mind monsters coming through the fourth wall as well.
