The Readers' Advisory Guide to Horror: ALA Readers' Advisory Series

Autor Becky Siegel Spratford
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 apr 2012
Vampires, zombies, ghosts, and ghoulies: there are more things going bump in the night than ever. So how do you wend your way through all of them to find the ones that interest a particular reader? RA expert Spratford updates her advisory to include the latest in monsters and the macabre, including * Lists of recommended titles, authors, and sub-genres, all cross-referenced for quick reference * Tips for effectively practicing horror RA, with interview questions for gauging a reader's interests * An expanded resources section, with an overview addressing the current state of horror lit, and suggestions of how to dig deeper As both an introductory guide for librarians just dipping their toes into the brackish water of scary fiction, as well as a fount of new ideas for horror-aware reference staff, Spratford's book is infernally appropriate.

Recenzii

"In the decade since the second edition, Spratford (who blogs at RAforAll) has completely rewritten and updated this guide, with particular attention to diverse voices writing about fear, dread, and terror ... Also important to this new edition is its organization, which is structured around the reader’s level of comfort with the genre. VERDICT Librarians will appreciate the updated recommendations and accessible organization. Those interested in a more complete history of horror fiction will find within a thoughtful exploration of previously excluded authors and emerging talent."
— Library Journal
"While the audience would be mostly public librarians, academic librarians may find this useful for several reasons. For instance, horror has academic value, and librarians who have a basis for recommending titles or horror subgenres such as gothic horror will help enhance student and faculty experience in their university libraries ... I highly recommend this book for those who need an introduction to horror as well as those who are familiar with the genre and strive to advise on the growing number of diverse authors. Academic librarians who need genre related works for their students and faculty, selectors for fiction and popular reading collections, and crave a way to highlight unique collections in a university or college library would benefit greatly from [this guide]."
— College & Research Libraries
"Whether you are a fan of horror or are not interested in being scared, this book will have you recommending books that give your patrons a fright in no time ... I would recommend this guide to all library staff and anyone interested in horror. It has definitely helped me to have more knowledge about this genre in general and the specific sub genres. I feel more confident in helping horror readers find their next scary read with the resources mentioned in this book. I have even reserved some horror books to dip my toes into this genre as a reader – only to be read in daylight of course!"
— Journal of the Australian Library and Information Association
