Actually Amazon did bury horror fiction a while back (seriously, try to find it by browsing categories), and many corporate bookstores have taken similar measures over the years. It does NOT compare, but it is a fact.
It is only with great restraint that I do not correctly reshelve the RPG books and graphic novels at my local B&N.
In regards to horror in particular, I have tried explaining to the stores several times that if I am given the opportunity to comfortably browse in my area of interest the chances of my continuing to patronize that store AND spending more money there increase exponentially. If I know what I want I'm going to go to some place like Amazon because I know it will be in stock and probably at a good discount and that's the only thing I'm going to purchase.
