The month

The edition for someone who has never done a horror month. Nothing older than 2001, nothing hard to find, and a few titles that argue about whether they are horror at all. The argument is the point.

Pacing

The most streamable edition. Beau Is Afraid and Zodiac are the long ones; Weapons closes the month.
