Horror:
Horror unfortunately is synonymous with themes based on grisly, gruesome, violent, bloodthirsty, bloody and brutal acts.
The films such as the Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Friday 13th and Saw have given the ghost stories a bad name.
Phantasms in the infirmary is far from this.
It is horror but without the severing of heads or pools of blood. It is representative of the good old fashioned ghost stories. Things that go bump in the night, stories to make you think and not cringe!
It is a book that is meant to give you goosebumps but in a nice way, without the bloody violence associated with the genre. There are ghosts and specters but not violence for the shock value of it.
Please give this book a try as I fear it may be misrepresented by the genre.
