Terror… or Horror?

March 5th, 2010 § 0 comments

Author Joe Hill, in the Onion AV Club interview for Horns: “Terror is the desire to save your own ass, but horror is rooted in sympathy.”

Critic John Clute, in the Strange Horizons review of the two-volume Library of America’s American Fantastic Tales, edited by Peter Straub:  “I might still mildly suggest that volume one is given over mostly to discovery, which is Terror, and that volume two focuses more on experience, which is Horror…  we near the end of terror. We begin to enter horror.”
