Horror classics have been scaring people for years. Readers' advisors and reference librarians are offered the key tools provided to expand upon this genre, including listings of top books, authors, and award winners within eleven horror subgenres - like mummies, biomedical, monsters, and splatterpunk.
Readers' advisors and reference librarians will also learn:
- The art of the readers' advisory interview for horror
- Strategies to develop, and tools to market, the horror collection
- Tactics for introducing non-horror readers to the genre
- Where to go for more details and resources
Horror may be an acquired taste, but under the guidance of two passionate aficionados, any librarian can master the basics to add horror into readers' advisory services.
