King states his belief that a horror story must hold the reader spellbound and immerse them in its world. It must have a great, compelling story. This is ... probably something I should work on.

King gives a lengthy observation about how horror fans read horror due to morbid curiosity, how different writers approach different horrors in different ways, and how different types of horror movies satisfied different types of domestic fears about a bunch of stuff. I also liked when he said about horror stories being allegorical. I have an allegorical horror story in the works myself.
