Every generation the media is blamed for the unruly behaviour of the young. In the 80's it was Heavy Metal, during the 90's it was rap and computer games. Well, there was once a time when comic books were seen as the greatest danger to the youth of the world, and the American Government decided it needed to do something about it. The Senate Hearings into juvenile delinquency would not only change the comic industry forever, it inspired an age a true horror across the globe, allowing government sanctioned witch hunts ruled by men like Joseph McCarthy to destroy the lives of everyday people looking for hidden perils in a seemingly dangerous world...and this all began with the war against comic books.

The modern political environment is not the first time America's paranoia infected the world. There was a time when comic books were branded public menace #1, and many governments moved to destroy the industry. With a cast that includes Alfred Hitchcock, Orson Welles, Joseph McCarthy, America's first serial killer, Albert Fish, Stan 'The Man' Lee and many others, 'HORROR - the First Time America's Paranoia Infected the World' is a tale based on the true stories of those affected by these strange times.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An interesting read, perfect for the status of our world now!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2021
    Hore pens a magnetic story in HORROR: The First Time America’s Paranoia Infected the World. I have read work from this author before, and I really enjoyed it. The title of the story may at first seem like there is this infection covering the globe, but it reminds the world (at least those who lived in the 50's children and adults alike) (and not me), that there was this deep infection, more like a horror that would cripple the minds of the budding next generation. The infection, comic books. The evil that pulled the children into interesting stories of monsters, goblins, science fiction, and superheroes. I loved this story. It kind of reminded me of the paranoia that spread when people first saw the movie, "War of the Worlds" where they thought there was indeed an invasion. This author has a great imagination and I'm glad it's being shared with stories. It's an interesting story and how the government was brought in to thwart "juvenile delinquency." This is a magnificent story, kept this reader turning the pages. A definite attention grabber, so much I couldn't put it down. The title drew me in, but the story made me stay. This story captures the reader's attention at chapter 1. I have fast become a big fan of Hore. HORROR: The First Time America’s Paranoia Infected the World is a definite recommendation by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews. I look forward to reading many more stories by this author.

    I received this book to read and give an honest and unbiased review. ~Amy's Bookshelf Reviews
