Entertaining, but not what I was expecting. Liked the opening; felt refreshing to encounter someone of faith who likes spooky stuff, too. However, it's veered into an exploration of Furries, folks who identify as vampires, and those obsessed with serial killer memorabilia, rather than looking at horror fiction and horror movies and culture, as Noel Carroll did in The Philosophy of Horror. Hoping to get back to that.

I'm on page 160 of 320 of The Frighteners: So, we're out of "bizarre" culture and back into some meaty, interesting stuff: how horror, weird, and morbid games/playacting/fiction is good for kids. Lots of excellent stuff here, with a lot of the same beats from Greg Ruth's great essay on TOR.com, "Why Horror is Good For You (And Even Better for Your Kids)."
