The Internet Review of Science Fiction has a new issue out
http://www.irosf.com/
with a new horror column titled "Dead Air" written by Nicholas Kaufman
The inaugural edition is titled
"At the Mountains of Misperception: Horror as a genre and an emotional state—and why it's worth taking seriously"
http://www.irosf.com/q/zine/article/10594

If "Dead Air" is a continuation of my previous column, which was geared toward a crowd already interested in and knowledgeable about the horror genre, then
this new incarnation also serves another purpose: to introduce it to some of you who may not know much about it. I can hardly blame anyone for being unsure
what horror is or wondering why anyone would be interested in it. After all, a decades-long avalanche of crappy movies and unreadable novels has buried
it beneath the aforementioned mountain of misperceptions.

With "Dead Air," I hope to rectify that situation and show you that horror can be more than the misogynistic slashers or lovingly described gore scenes
that so many immediately identify with the genre. Much, much more.
