I'd love to find this one again. Owned it as a teenager. Remember it wasn't exhaustive by any means, but it was good and needs a re-read badly. Barker is a good choice for someone to write a book on horror. He certainly enjoys showing up on documentaries about it, even if he hasn't written much in the genre anymore. ( )

I thought this was an interesting look at horror through snippets of information about writers, artists, directors, actors, movies, television and more. Lots of trivia and reference material from people who make horror their business. ( )
