Help me out please! Within each sub-forum, discuss how you would define classic and contemporary horror fiction.

I think of horror as something that scares me, like Stephen King's books. I usually avoid horror, because I don't like to be scared. I'm an Empath, and horror is just too much for me to bear.
I also think of horror as the classics, like Bram Stoker's Dracula, which I coudn't get through because it was just too tedious and boring for me.
I will have to check out that thread at SFReader. Thanks! My favorite fantasy genre to read is dark urban fantasy, and I never think of it as frightening, yet some of my favorite dark urban fantasy authors are classified as humorous Horror. So that should be an interesting article to read.
