The books now all show up under the new "Horror" Book Genre in the book selector window.
The three existing EA-provided horror books, plus any that are crafted, will now have the same effects as the books in the mod (readers will get a "Scared" buff, and a beneficial fear-related buff or two after the "Scared" buff wears off.)
Problems where readers would not exit naturally from reading these books have been fixed.

What's missing from your Sims' bookshelves? Horror! Forgotten Hollow Publications fixes that with our new series of readable Horror Novels for Sims. Each novel functions as a regular leisure book, filling the Fun need of readers. But there's more!
  • each books is available under the "Horror" Genre;
  • each Horror Novel is a reference to the history of in-game elements of horror or an homage to efforts of previous modders to bring Horror content to the game;
  • Horror Novels are Emotional Books that will inspire Fear in their readers;
  • because of the grip Fear holds, the Needs Decay of those reading them will slow dramatically;
  • once a Reader has recovered from Fear, there's a good chance they will experience useful after-emotions, such as Post-Fear Inspiration, Confidence, Flirtatiousness, or Energy;
  • unlike regular books, they stimulate Sims to generate thought balloons appropriate to the plot of the book they are reading, many of which are custom-made for those novels;
  • each book has a unique combination of the strength, duration, and likelihood of these effects;
  • the books come with a decorative and functional Horror Bookstand pre-loaded with all the books as a bargain for your convenience; and
  • a special "Get Spooked" Holiday Tradition for use on spooky holidays that Sims fulfill only by getting scared!

The nine novels are classics of Sim-horror, sure to be familiar to long-time players and to inspire terror in Sims:
Credits: Forgotten Hollow Publications thanks its development team (Josh, Nick, and David) and survey participants, and acknowledges that Horror Novels follow in the footsteps of giants in Sims-horror, including Necrodog, Joe Winko, Sacrificial, Turbodriver, and those who have assisted them.
