 I remember a few years a horror author that I really admired, and still do by the way, claiming that there really wasn't a horror community, it was just a lot of small connected people looking out for each other, rather than some massive worldwide network of support and admiration. It is a statement that I disagreed with then and it is one I still powerfully disagree with today. We are community we are family, especially within the Horror Book Blogging community. Book Bloggers are, in the vast majority of cases, a powerful and supportive group. We all go through a lot of crap, we all share similar stories, experiences of running book blogging sites, and we all share a passion for reading and for promoting the genre we love. We do it for love, we all know there is no money to be made from running a review blog, hel most of us sink more money into running the site than most of you can imagine. We put in long hours, in between family life work commitments and that mythical concept of a full night's sleep. It's these shared passions and experiences that bring us together, we may not all agree on what makes for a good book, we may think one book is terrible, while everyone else thinks it's the best thing since sliced bread, but we do respect our differences of opinions. We message each other all the time, for advice, to vent our frustrations or to offer support, when yet another author decides to attack one of our family. We are one and we are legion, with that in mind I think it is about time to give a shout out to some of the blogs and bloggers who work nonstop to promote the horror genre, and just remember that together we can promote the fuck out this genre. Here is a list of some bloggers who I think you should all follow and read, and more importantly share their work, commnet on their posts, tell others about their sites, everyone authors, fans, casual readers, and the bloggers all benefit when you click that retweet button or that blog share button on their site. If you are an author it's a great way to get up your chances of getting that elusive review, with TBR piles, deadlines and, limited time, being an active supporter of a site might just get you that bump up the pile. This list isn't comprehensive, there will be some sites I have unknowingly missed, so please don't feel snubbed, if you would like to be part of this shout out, then please feel free to leave your details in the comment section at the end of this article. In no particular order here is some of the great guys 'n girls of the blogging world.
