Cracking Spines

By Jason Cavallaro

"Every horror fan needs to grab this book "John R. Little, author of Miranda, and The Memory Tree

Do you want to explore horror and don't know where to start?

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

Either way, this book is for you.

Utilizing spoiler-free micro reviews 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 horror research (aka, reading in his bedroom), where he has amassed well over 3,000 horror novels read.

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

"Cavallaro's excitement is contagious His literary rundown is friendly and, frankly, hilarious." -Mercedes M. Yardley, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Little Dead Red and "Fracture.""A truly excellent and exhaustive guide to all sorts of horror, both familiar and unfamiliar Cavallaro put in the hours and made something fascinating"-Dan Franklin, author of These Things Linger
