SUMMARY:Horror Readers' Advisory: How to Help Your Scariest Patrons
DESCRIPTION:A recent poll of thousands of library workers identified Horror 
 as one of the Top 5 genres they were "most scared of\," and yet\, the genre 
 is basking in a popularity among our patrons that hasn't been seen in 
 decades. We cannot ignore it any longer. It's time to stop worrying that 
 your Horror readers are monsters\, and start remembering they only like to 
 read about them. The library world's Horror expert \,Becky Spratford\, is 
 here to help you conquer your own fears and walk you through today's horror 
 landscape. In this webinar she will explain how to talk to fans\, break 
 down the appeal of horror\, identify what resources will serve you best\, 
 and most importantly\, give you dozens of authors and titles to start 
 suggesting with confidence\, immediately! And just in time for the start of 
 Spooky Season. Becky will break it all down for you so that you can get up 
 to speed on this current Horror Renaissance without terrorizing yourself in 
 the process. Let's have some fun\, talk about books\, help patrons\, and 
 learn about the scariest genre together. \n\nPresenter: \n\nBecky
