I really enjoy Grady Hendrix, and Caroline Kepnes! And I'm reading Cackle right now :) 'entry' horror I guess

I loved Monster, She Wrote!
In your experience, do you think different types of people gravitate to different types of horror? Is there 'starter' horror?
I can watch or read all the slasher horror I want, but anything that involves ghosts, zombies, or aliens are a no-go zone for me. I was also scarred by mummy documentaries as a kid.

> I still prefer to read horror rather than watch it; there's something about viewing a scary or violent image that is more intense for me.
I completely agree; I feel as though I could read anything and not quite be as affected as watching it on screen. Though I have a scene from Hokuloa Road (read recently) burned into my brain...
