Behind the Horror: Real Stories Behind the Big Screen's Greatest Screams by Lee Mellor
5.0
As a true crime and horror fan this book was an obvious choice for me and it was so, so good! I've always said if a horror film scares me then that is how I rate it as being good and as you can imagine ones inspired by true events are usually very highly rated by me because if a horror film could actually happen in real life then that is the pinnacle of fear in my opinion so to learn about the actual crimes that inspired some of my all time favourite horror films was so interesting. Each chapter in this great non-fic read is based on a different horror film and goes into detail about the cases that inspired the directors and writers of iconic horror films when they were working on them to help create the films we know today. It was incredibly interesting and filled with so many facts and so much information to really help you delve into the cases. Overall, I highly recommend this book if you are a fan of true crime and horror!
