Why read it?

1 author picked Cracking Spines as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I wouldn't normally select a reference book as a favorite, but I was so impressed with the amount of research (Jason read thousands of horror books) conducted to compile this volume that I had to include it in my list. I appreciated the various categories in the horror genre he created and the brief comments for each selection. Often humorous, always intriguing.
