Grady hendrix horrorstör6/21/2023 It achieves its goal by placing a comic perspective within the context of horrific events. I’m delighted to say that Horrorstör doesn’t do that: the comedy is found in the perspectives and reactions of the characters instead of the absurdity of events that surround them. Part of this is the fact that horror can be thought of as “ comedy without the punchline” – mixing the two can have the disastrous effect of collapsing the horror into the comedy, turning something that can edge into tragedy and drama into a mere farce. I’m generally not a fan of mixing comedy and horror. The first one I listened to was Grady Hendrix’s comedy-horror novel Horrorstör, which turned out to be deeper and more complicated than I had originally anticipated. Recently, I downloaded the “ Libby” application on my phone – it’s a free service that allows people who have library cards to temporarily download ebooks and audiobooks.
