Every Borders I have ever been in has a horror section. everynametaken Send a noteboard - 23/12/2009 04:05:25 AM
Every bookstore I've ever been in has a horror section. :confused:


Some of those do and some of them don't, depending on the store layout and manager's choice. Most of them split the books by author or sub-genre to where they get shelved. All Stephen King books typically get shelved in Literature where nearly all Urban Fantasy is in with Sci-Fi & Fantasy.


That would be pretty much every Borders in southeastern MI and Grand Rapids MI. Probably a half dozen to dozen stores. Oh, the Borders I went to in Denver had a horror section too.

I don't frequent Barnes and Nobles much but all of them in MI that I have been in also have horror sections.
But wine was the great assassin of both tradition and propriety...

There isn't one. Ouranid - 21/12/2009 11:40:31 AM 581 Views
I guess you have a point... Phelix - 21/12/2009 09:51:54 PM 560 Views
This is down to the USA not having a separate horror section, I believe. Werthead - 22/12/2009 03:25:04 AM 579 Views
Um...? rebelaessedai - 22/12/2009 04:08:50 AM 595 Views
That is not standard in all the larger bookstore chains... Barnes & Noble and Borders in particular. Jacob - 22/12/2009 02:53:13 PM 586 Views
So why does King get to be "literature"... Phelix - 22/12/2009 07:31:14 PM 591 Views
Most likely because of the money and movies associated with his name... Jacob - 22/12/2009 07:46:14 PM 513 Views
So exposure makes something literary? Phelix - 22/12/2009 08:06:27 PM 583 Views
Nope... just where it gets shelved in a book megastore. Jacob - 22/12/2009 08:41:56 PM 548 Views
Interesting. Phelix - 22/12/2009 08:46:23 PM 711 Views
I have always seen King in the horror section, never in literature. *shrugs* everynametaken - 23/12/2009 04:06:47 AM 472 Views
Huh. rebelaessedai - 23/12/2009 03:11:58 AM 583 Views
Pretty sure Barnes & Noble has horror. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/12/2009 03:34:57 AM 240 Views

Aside from Barnes & Noble and Borders and Books-A-Million, maybe I guess? Ghavrel - 22/12/2009 05:55:20 AM 608 Views
Not Borders. They have always had a separate horror shelf next to fantasy/sci-fi. *NM* everynametaken - 23/12/2009 04:03:27 AM 242 Views
Whoa, dude. We've been in a Borders together! *NM* rebelaessedai - 23/12/2009 03:43:11 PM 349 Views
It's true! (you might want to get tested... the last girl I went to Borders with had warts. ) *NM* Phelix - 23/12/2009 05:20:54 PM 285 Views
LOL! I miss you, baby! *NM* rebelaessedai - 24/12/2009 03:28:16 AM 279 Views
Miss you too sugar. Phelix - 24/12/2009 03:31:04 AM 561 Views
You never do! rebelaessedai - 24/12/2009 11:52:05 PM 506 Views
It's true, I do. Phelix - 25/12/2009 09:09:49 AM 656 Views
You better! rebelaessedai - 26/12/2009 11:21:35 PM 516 Views
