Nightmare Fuel: The Science of Horror Films

This book really exceeded my expectations! As a horror movie fan I was interested in the concept of this nonfiction book, and was pleasantly surprised when it actually talked about the science behind why people enjoy horror! It was broken down into easily digestible sections and went really deep into how different parts of our body reactions to horror. I really enjoyed the section about music and how the different tones cause different reactions, it was very well researched and obvious that the author knew what she was talking about. I would definitely recommend this to any horror movie fan!
