The narrator was great but since this is a reference book, do get a physical or ebook copy (I think there's also illustrations/photos so even more reason). There are so many unhinged books now I am very curious to read

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.
