Why cant Amazon categorise books better?

I know its probably down to the Authors/ publishers, and probably lots of them wack on as many categories as possible to a book, but I find it really, really annoying when browsing a category to find loads of unrelated books being listed in it.

A lot of times I wont have a particular book in mind for my next read but I will have an idea what genre I want, so I will look that genre up on Amazon only to be met by loads of entries that have nothing to do with that category.

Here's a few of the books listed when I was searching for a new horror book to read -

SJ Parris - Treachery, a very good book that I've actually read, but definitely not horror!
Dan Brown the lost Symbol - again certainly wouldnt class this as horror??
The Lord of the rings

Does anyone else find this and do you find it as annoying as I do?

Does anyone know of an effective way of searching Amazon? Or do you perhaps use something like good reads to find your next book then look it up on Amazon?
