Horror's Greatest Hits

When used properly, these three things help organize the story and break it into a clear, easy-to-follow narrative.

That is a shame because the characters and their plight are interesting to me and I would love to have learned more about their lives. But telling that story in an unconventional style sabotaged my effort to learn. (less)
