Library Research

I think that I slightly misunderstood the purpose of this project and what we were supposed to research in the library, but when I heard that we could write on our discourse community (at least I thought this was an option) the first thing that naturally came to mind was directing horror movies. Going on this basis, I found two or three books in the library that might help me with this project. The first book that I looked at was "The Historical Dictionary of Horror Cinema" by Peter Hutchings. This book was published by The Scarecrow Press, Inc. in 2008. From what I saw, this "dictionary" went from A to Z on every possible aspect of horror movies (directors, movies, characters, and so on). Next I found "The A-Z of Horror Films" by Howard Maxford. This book was published in 1997 by the Indiana University Press in Bloomington and Indianapolis. This book was basically the same as the last one, giving an in depth coverage of horror's history. The last one I found actually turned out to be absolutely no help at all. I cannot remember the name of it, but it essentially was a book full of old scary poems throughout history. As cool as this book was, it provided no support for me and my future career endeavors.
