The Book of Lists: Horror, edited by Amy Wallace, Del Howison, and Scott Bradley

Things I wanted from this book: A list of horror novels I ought to read.

What I received from this book: 60% lists about movies, 15% lists about television shows, 10% lists about music (wut?), and 15% lists about books (10% of which were about what horror authors thought of the movie adaptations of their books).

On the one hand, I did get a list of books (ten of them); on the other hand, I spent a lot of time reading about movies I’ll never want to see. (Some of the list writers were a bit too excited about the level of graphic violence in the movies.) Had this been more then 99 cents, I’d be even more annoyed than I am with this book.
