sarah984's review against another edition

dark funny informative fast-paced

3.0

This book was fine, but not really what I was hoping for. The cover illustrations are great, and some of the history is interesting, but everything is kind of blithe and superficial. I was hoping for something a little more like The Secret Feminist Cabal (sci-fi fan history) but for horror.
