I'm of the opinion that horror is better served in short form. Novella at the most. Most horror novels end up being about a myriad of things (the protagonist's divorce, a bad break up, mistrust of family vs the power of blood bonds, etc) and the horror only rears its head every so often.

Then again, maybe I just haven't read good horror novels yet.
