You mean, Zed, you don't think horror writing should strive for reactions not unlike "the bowel-churn, the stomach-turn," and "the saline rush of icy sepsis as if our intestinal contents have turned to some kind of wretched fecal slushy"?

That's like a recip book that tells you in great detail what the food should taste like but when it comes to the practical stuff just says - "take your meat and the veg and make a pie with it".

If it's supposed to be advising on how to writr horror it's very poor.

If it's just a list of what we all know is in every good horror story, it's functional.
