Finding horror books in the science/fantasy section can be time consuming, because the only thing to go by--if I'm unfamiliar with the author, which I usually am--are the titles. Some fantasy and sci-fi titles can be mistaken for horror titles (and vice versa). I clicked on one thread tonight for a book called Fliers , thinking it was probably a horror story about vampires, only to discover it was a fantasy tale. This kind of thing happens to me multiple times whenever I'm searching for horror there. The fact that sci-fi and fantasy titles outnumber horror titles by a considerable margin, only makes the searching more time consuming.
