Today I have a very special guest Jason Cavallaro talking about his book Cracking Spines. His book is about Do you want to explore horror fiction and don't know where to start?


Or are you a hardcore reader and looking for some obscure titles?


Either way, this book is for you.


Utilizing spoiler-free micro reviews, ranked, and split into 37 sub-categories, Jason presents a fun and informative tour of horror fiction, catering to every type of horror reader:

The beginner: "What the heck is a Cthulhu?"

The intermediate: "What the heck is a Richard Laymon?"

The person who doesn't realize they like horror: "I don't like horror, but I love The Walking Dead!"

Cracking Spines is the culmination of Jason's 30 years of research (aka, reading in his bedroom), where he has amassed over 3,000 horror novels read.


He has read the bad ones so you can skip to the good ones.
