With books such as Bird Box and The Silence being made into successful Netflix films, The Little Stranger and Stephen King’s It and Pet Sematary intobox-office movies, and classics like Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle into series, horror is experiencing a resurgence. Tor has recently announced they are launching a new horror imprint. Popular horror of now is not what it was in the 80s and 90s with slash and gore cheese.
