Billy's Answer!

I would rather read a good old fashioned horror novel in the vein of Stephen King or John Saul. Horror is scarier than urban fantasy.

  3. I'm not real big on the scary ones myself. Though I can do better with horror books than horror movies! Lol! Definitely more of an Urban Fantasy reader!

    1. The Shining is one my favorite books. I haven't read the last three books by Stephen King, but I do own them.

  8. Yes, horror is scarier than urban fantasy. That's PRECISELY why I refuse to read it, lol. I can't stand the feeling of fear and helplessness in the face of evil that you find in every single horror novel. Not my cup of tea! :)

    There have been two exceptions to my dislike of this genre. The first one, "The Forbidden Game", by L.J. Smith (of "The Vampire Diaries" fame) also contained paranormal romance, and is a collection of previously-published YA novels. I think I kept on reading because of the romance! Lol.

    The second, "Dread Nation", by Justina Ireland, is not really all that scary. In fact, I would classify it as "horror lite". Lol. What I LOVED about it was its scathing satire, which strongly condemns racism. Also, the female MC is a very strong, feminist leader. LOVED that!! This book, too, is a YA novel.

    So, for me, UF is preferable. I think the plots, characterizations, and world-building are much more interesting. But hey, there's room for all kinds of reading tastes in "the bookworm universe", right? :)

    Thanks for sharing! Thanks as well for commenting on my own BBH post!! <3 :)

    1. I started watching horror movies when I was a seven-year-old, so horror stories don't scare too much. I like horror novels that are well-written with great descriptions.

    2. I have noticed, with the few horror novels I've read, that they are indeed very well written. I'm just TOO squeamish! Lol.

      Hope you continue to enjoy your horror books!! And Happy Halloween!!

      P.S. I added the following to my reply to your comment on my blog, but I'll add it here, too: I used the Halloween logo you created for the October 2016 BBH posts, instead of the new one you have this year. That's because my posts have a dark background, so the new logo wasn't showing up very well. Besides, I do prefer the one from 2016. :)

  9. Do you know what's funny?

    Today I picked up a paperback at the thrift store called "Watchers in the Night" by Jenna Black, which happens to be a paranormal romance.
