YES! “Thrillers may very well ratchet up your sense of suspense, but do they scare the shit out of you, literally and figuratively, like a well-crafted horror movie can?” (Last Chance Lance)
NO! “Humans like labels. Psychology tells us that our minds find them comforting, but horror is not a genre of comfort.” (Monica S. Kuebler)
