class help
Hey horror fiends!
i'm taking a class on american horror films and have to pick a book to do a report on. when i googled horror this came up and i thought why should i look around for a book about horror films when all the experts are here. so - if u were going to read a book about horror films what would it be?? hopefully its interesting and doesn't suck (oh, and probably isn't too long) Joseph

Welcome and stick around - this is a great place to learn about horror.
King's Danse Macabre is pretty good http://books.google.com/books?id=7B7...=Danse+Macabre as is Adam Rockoff's Going to Pieces:The Rise and Fall of the Slasher Film http://books.google.com/books?id=W7-...print&ct=title This one looks promising as well, I've been meaning to pick it up, but I've bought too many books as of late. http://books.google.com/books?id=kwu...ape+of+Rage%22

Clive Barker's A-Z of Horror if you actually need a book about horror films.
If you just need books with Horror themes, then check out The Rising or The Zombie Survival Guide.
