● About this genre
What we mean by "horror"
Horror covers everything that organises itself around fear — slasher, folk, body, supernatural, psychological, and the slow social horror that has come to dominate the contemporary form.
We don't treat horror as a lesser genre; the writing here takes craft questions and thematic readings as seriously as we'd take them in drama or thriller.
