Truly Scary Books for Halloween and Beyond
Briefly

Horror novels require a delicate weaving of persuasion and misdirection, engaging the reader's imagination to evoke chilling details, unlike the visceral scares of horror films.
True horror literature unsettles over time, crafting an atmosphere of menace rather than relying on graphic violence to provoke fear, creating a lingering impact well beyond the page.
