Review of Feral and Hysterical
I wasn’t very far into this book before I started a spreadsheet to track the titles described. I categorized them as: - Probably not for me - Maybe for me - Probably for me - Must read - Have read

This is a very useful book for any fan of horror writing. I would have enjoyed it more without the plugs for Amazon.
