Welcome to Horror Reanimated!
August 18th, 2008
Welcome to Horror Reanimated, the voice of Bloody Books.
That voice is the sound of two Bloody Books authors, Joseph D’Lacey and Bill Hussey.
We’ll be here talking about the resurgence of horror – a literary plague resistant to every drug and all bad press.
These are dark times and in such times, horror’s disease spreads tendrils into even the purest hearts. If you’re reading this, you’re probably infected already.
Be vigilant.
Watch for symptoms.
When your very eyes drip pus and venom, don’t call the doctor: a shotgun is the only medicine.

Ah, beautiful Horror. A way to deal with our fears, a way to release our frustrations by killing off the guy who cut us off in traffic (legally), and a way to control what we can’t control in the real world. What fun!
I’m hooked. Great idea for a blog.

When I first started reading Stephen King, I thought there would be no end to horror. Then I started writing it and that’s when I found out it was a dying breed, not because of a lack of authors, but by the publishing industry in general. It seems now-a-days you need to promote yourself as a “thriller” in order to even be considered being published. However, I do sense a revival for this genre on the horizon and with authors such as yourselves building monentum, you have made it clear to the publishing world, that horror is in-fact, not dead.

I’ve discussed this with Joseph before, but I think Horror as a genre is well suited to become the most progressive branch of genre fiction over the next few years. In the same way that sci-fi was in the late 60s and 70s, mainly because the world is such a terrifying place, we need terrifying fiction to begin to make sense of it. People are dealing with a lot of fear in their lives these days and they need a fictional construct with which to deal with that fear and its displacement.

Great blog! I started reading horror in my childhood with Pan Anthologies, and Poe, Lovecraft etc… followed by Hammer movies.. lol! never scared only enthralled. I still love horror but not so keen on gore. There seem to be so many sub/cross-genres around these days … could be helped by some pointers?
Best of luck with everything!
