Yes, there are genres of books I love to read. My all-time favorite genres are classics and fantasies. However, is there a genre I refuse to read. This is actually true for just about EVERY bookworm. So, what is the genre I refuse to read?
Horror:
This is a genre I really have no interest in reading. Yes, I can handle scary- as in HP and LOTR. But not in the Horror sense- those are too paranormal and too creepy. I am not judging them poorly. I already have this feeling I will NOT like this genre. I am seen previews of this genre in film, and those creep me out- so not thanks.
Yes, I did once judge a book by its genre- back when I said I will NEVER love a tragedy. However, I am not judging horror in that way. I dislike Hunger Games because it is too gruesome and dislike Peculiar Children because it is too creepy- horror seems like it takes those two things at a much deeper level. As in being way too creepy or way too gruesome.
What about you, is there are a genre you refuse to read?
I agree. I like to read books with redemptive power that put good things in my mind, and I really don’t think horror would do that.

What is annoying is that some people are like “how do you know you will not like horror if you never read it”. I just know I will not.

I’m not drawn to horror either, or sci-fi ( I prefer sci fi in films).📚

I am mentioned quite a LOT about why I know I will not love horror if I have never read it- I just know. I already know my limit to scary- horror is just too much on the extreme side of things
