10 Revealing Reasons Readers Like to Read Scary Books

October 7, 2024

1 Comment

Good horror novels engage readers in ways few other genres can. Have a look at ten revealing reasons why people are drawn to horror and scary books, each backed by an example from notable novels.

Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000

In 1980, Ron returned to his typewriter both for his own amusement and to celebrate his fiftieth year as a professional writer. The result was Battlefield Earth, a novel of pure science fiction. Freed from the constraints of the magazine format, Ron delivered a story of 428,750 words—the biggest single-volume science fiction novel ever published.

The Mission Earth Series

While Battlefield Earth caught many by surprise, no one was prepared for the unique and unprecedented work that followed it. Writing once more in the science fiction genre, Ron created an unsurpassed masterpiece of satire and social commentary within the framework of a rousing intergalactic adventure. It is full of biting insights about the condition of our planet, its people, and its institutions.
