To wrap this back to my original gripe, horror as genre tries to be too "out there", when really, horror needs to hit a reader inside. Horror should be less concerned about the fantastic shit, and more concerned about what could be going on right in front of my face--- which is scarier Cthulthu or a much rah-rah'ed president who wants to legalize warrentless spying on America's citizens.
Horror shouldn't be about exploiting my fears. It should be about exploiting my beliefs.
