Is it defensible to claim that novels are the worst medium for horror?

>>	Anonymous Mon Jun 24 22:01:01 2019 No.13356995 >>13356966 Stephen King alone has written more than 5 good horror books, as >>13356978 notes. 3 of the Dark Tower books are at least good, as well. Then there's Hearts In Atlantis, his best book, which has horror elements.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jun 24 22:01:07 2019 No.13356997 >>13356908 Yeah. in the sense that, although you can make a good book with horror elements, it’s pretty difficult to instill fear through words alone.
