I think you made a good choice of thread, although it's not really apparent from the book blurb included. And I sympathize with your quandary! I read more mystery than horror, and I'm frequently unhappy when a "mystery" book unexpectedly injects supernatural elements, while Hitchcock style horror doesn't disturb me even if not forewarned... There are some series that I really enjoy that intermix genres to a description-defying extent. (Is that hard-boiled detective novel involving an alien species Sci-Fi or mystery? What about the Jewish time-traveliing detective? Or the police procedural where the protagonist just happens to be a werewolf? Or my surprise that the bookstore now has an entire section for Paranormal Romance....)
