True, but, at least in the libraries I go to, they are
not in the children's or young adult sections. A
young person would have to go to the Adult, or
general shelves and either know the author to look for
or scan all the shelves -- but the titles don't really
give away what's inside the book. Of course, one can
expect to be scared by a Stephen King book, and I'm
sure kids know about him -- and some titles in the
Mystery section might tell someone that he/she can
maybe expect something gruesome.
