Horror films have probably never been as popular at any point in the history of cinema as they are right now as the options to find them have increased massively. Yet for someone coming in to the genre, where on earth do you start from. It's a daunting prospect for someone completely fresh to the world of horror film.
Thankfully, in Emily C Hughes new book "Horror For Weenies", we're given a crash course in the most influential horror film of the last few decades and where those films can lead the viewer. With talking points, trivia and the killing of few urban myths, the book is a fantastic overview without the gatekeeping.
Emily's a renowned writer in the field of horror and her passion and love for the subject drips from every page and has written for numerous magazines, major newspapers and websites over the last few years.
The book can be found here:
