The phenomenally popular Book of Lists series has sold millions of copies from coast to coast, enthralling trivia aficionados with fascinating infobits about simply everything! Now the latest edition turns an evil eye toward the strange, the blood-curdling, and the macabre with spine-tingling fun facts from the dark side of entertainment. Chock-full of creepy information from the netherworlds of movies, TV, literature, video games, comic books, and graphic novels, The Book of Lists: Horror offers a blood-feast of forbidden knowledge that horror fans are hungry to devour, including:

  • Stephen King's Ten Favorite Horror Novels or Short Stories—learn what scares the master!
  • Top Six Grossing Horror Movies of All Time in the United States— which big shocks translated into big bucks?
  • Top Ten Horror-Themed Rock 'n' Roll Songs—maybe it is ‘devil's music' after all!
  • And much, much more!

Drawing on its authors' extensive knowledge and contributions from the (living) legends and greatest names in the horror and dark fantasy genres, The Book of Lists: Horror is a scream—an irresistible compendium of all things mysterious, terrifying, and gory . . . and so entertaining, it's scary!

5.0 out of 5 stars If you love the horror genre and trivia then this book is for you, September 23, 2008
I am a huge fan of the horror genre and lists so i knew i would love this book. It is interesting on many levels. Many familiar faces of the genre created lists in the book that are both entertaining and informative. I guarantee you will be making lists of your own after reading this book with movies, books, or music that sound appealing to you. It is also great to hear what people involved with the genre think. All the lists are given generous description so even the most diehard genre fans will learn something new. I highly recommend this book, whether you are a fan of the horror genre itself, a lover of lists, or you simply enjoy entertainment related trivia. Just trust me this book is for YOU!

5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT RESOURCE AND GREAT FUN!, September 16, 2008
The Book of Lists: Horror is the latest addition to the Book of Lists series that has spanned four decades. This time Amy Wallace, Book of Lists veteran and daughter of the legendary Irving Wallace, receives a strong assist from Scott Bradley and Del Howison, two experts in all things horror. The result is very special!

If you love lists, you will not be disappointed. If you love horror in films, books, music, poetry and art, you will not be disappointed. If you want to celebrate your love of the macabre, then look no further. If you want to expand your list of movies to watch and books to read, then you will find this book to be an amazing resource.

The book is filled with fun facts, great lists (be sure to check out James Gunn's NINETEEN FAVORITE REASONS GOD MADE HUMANS SO SQUISHY on page 38), great style (I love that Chapter 2: The Literature of Dread, starts with 20 great openings in horror fiction and closes with 20 great endings in horror fiction) and a fantastic fan section (do not miss Jim Gerlach's list on page 405). This tome does a wonderful job of expanding the scope of horror, particularly with Jack Ketchum's TEN BEST HORROR NOVELS THAT DON'T CALL THEMSELVES HORROR NOVELS and Ramsey Campbell's THIRTEEN NOVELS ON THE EDGE OF HORROR. Bentley Little has a great list dealing with one hit wonders although I would disagree with his contention that MAGIC was William Goldman's only horror novel. But that's part of the greatness of this book - it offers so many viewpoints, that it is likely to start some arguments!

The quality of contributors is amazing, particularly in the field of literature. The book is creative, fun-loving, well organized, informative and well written. Add this one to your shelves today!

4.0 out of 5 stars Addictive, March 19, 2009
By Craig Clarke (New England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
The Book of Lists began a franchise in 1977 that has lasted over 30 years. It has resulted in a New York Times bestseller, three other general collections, and one each on the 1990s and punk rock. Now they move even further out of the mainstream with The Book of Lists: Horror.

"Trying to prod a thing as elusive, sneaky, and totally out-of-bounds as horror into an informative and highly usable book of lists would seem to be pretty much impossible," states author/illustrator Gahan Wilson (one of the first artists I learned to recognize by style) in his introduction. But it seems that editors Amy Wallace, Del Howison, and Scott Bradley have managed to somehow compile over 400 pages' worth of opinions, recommendations, and commentary into this endlessly fascinating volume. If you're a fan of the genre, The Book of Lists: Horror is a must read; if you're not, it will make you one.

Here's just a sampling of the contents: Edward Lee's "Ten Best Horror Movies with Gratuitous Nudity"; Bentley Little's "Ten Horror One-Hit Wonders That Everyone Should Read"; Jack Ketchum's "Ten Best Horror Novels That Don't Call Themselves Horror Novels"; David T. Wilbanks's "Ten Favorite Dark Works of Classical Music"; Steve Niles's "Top Twenty Horror Comic Covers"; and Gary A. Braunbeck's "Seven Disparately Horrific Triple Features."

And that's just scratching the surface. The Book of Lists: Horror took up every free moment I had from the day I got it until ... well, I still refer back to it now and then, and I expect to keep it on my reference shelf right next to another horror-list classic: Horror: 100 Best Books.

In fact, my only real complaint is that there is no comprehensive index or table of contents that would allow the reader to relocate a favorite list. But there are so many terrific takes on the genre included in The Book of Lists: Horror, however, that the search will undoubtedly result in finding something else great in the process.
