A Great Early Overview of Horror in the Mass Media
I first read this book back when I was in high school in the late 1970s...really enjoyed it. It has a variety of short stories by the likes of Ambrose Bierce, Edgar Allen Poe, Lord Dunsany and H. P. Lovecraft, but also delves into its subject matter, dealing with horror in mass media; the shows, movies, magazines, books and comics like EC horror (reprints "Model Nephew" by Jack Davis) and Famous Monsters of Filmland. All in all, while this book is nearly 50 years old and mass media has went far beyond the scope of this book, I believe it is still a great source of the beginnings of the genre. Plus to me it is worth if for the sheer nostalgia factor alone.
