There are several ways to do it.

Option 1: (The easy way)

In the tag browser, right-click the "Fiction.Horror" tag and choose "Rename Horror". Change it to "F.Horror" and hit Enter.

Option 2:

In the tag browser, select the "Fiction.Horror" tag. This should filter the books so only the books with that tag show.

Select all in the library.

Edit Metadata -> Edit Metadata in Bulk.

In "Add Tags" type "F.Horror". In "Remove Tags" type "Fiction.Horror". Hit OK.

Option 3:

Select the "Fiction.Horror" books as above, and Edit Metadata in Bulk. In the Search and Replace tab, enter the following values:

Search Field: tags

Search for: Fiction.Horror

Replace with: F.Horror

Hit OK.
