Where Nightmares Come From: The Art of Storytelling in the Horror Genre by Ramsey Campbell, Joe R. Lansdale, Clive Barker
funny
informative

fast-paced
3.5
This is a patchwork book with different authors writing about different parts of writing horror. The plus side to this is that whatever part of the horror writing subject you want to read about, there's likely a chapter about that. The downside to this is, well, if you don't want to know about how to shoot a horror movie, there are chapters that are going to bore you.
If you want a very generalized chat about the genre and writing it, this is an excellent book but don't look too hard for specifics.
