Is there a horror section in your bookstore?

Asked by Berserker (33548points) December 11th, 2012

I live in a relatively small town, which only has one book store. (used to be more, but this one is the only bookstore that sells new books only)
Watching some Stephen King interviews, he doesn’t always describe his books as horror. Sometimes science fiction, drama and all…but not always horror. reminds me of a Simpsons joke which, of course, isn’t on YouTube.

So thinking about what King said in that one interview I saw, it made me realize that there is no horror section in my one book store. If you want Stephen King or Dean Koontz or other horror, you have to check out fantasy/science fiction. (both in one section, and all horror books are in there) Not that I mind, I’ve been to this book store for years and it never dawned on me that a horror section doesn’t exist lol…but when I lived in Winnipeg, or when I go to MontrĂ©al, most big book stores do have a horror section. (as well as separate fantasy and science fiction sections) And this book store we have here IS pretty big n’ fancy.

So now I’m wondering how common the horror section is in book stores. Do you have a horror section in your book store? (this applies for both new and used book stores)
