Horror isn’t just scary for horror’s sake. Good horror entails so much more than jump scares and spooky creatures. Author Joe R. Lansdale expands on how horror can contain multitudes of other genres, and comment on society’s issues, in the Big Idea for his newest collection of short stories, The Essential Horror.
JOE R. LANSDALE:
Horror is a funny word and hard to define. As a book genre, even more difficult.
It’s like humor. What the hell is it?
This is where I give you the big answer. Hitch up your drawers, here it comes.
