Fright Sexism in horror novels: the real monsters aren't the ones you think

Quote:
In a typical horror novel, you might expect to find, say, women shrieking as they are about to be raped, mutilated, murdered or otherwise menaced by monsters far beyond human taste and decency. So it shouldn't come as a surprise to hear that the genre has been accused of sexism.
