incendiary statement of the day

[rm]

I think the responses to the question ladyjaida posted here may well demonstrate why people don't take sci-fi/fantasy seriously as a literary genre.

Oooh. I'm more of a horror geek myself, but I could still fit in there. Many years ago I had the divine pleasure of acquiring a book called Planks of Reason. It was a collection of scholarly papers about horror movies. Like anything in academia, some of them were pretty ridiculous, but some of them were really worth reading.

Oddly enough, I seem to have an easier time in general finding this kind of writing about horror movies than horror writing.
