Which genre would be more interesting for the public??

Question

After many years of putting it off, I have finally decided that now is the time to work on my book.  The question I have is this:  Which genre would attract the larger audience??
1)Historical Fiction--(American Civil War era)  or
2)Horror

Thanks,

I would go with historical fiction rather than horror.  The author Anne Rice, and the movies National Treasure & The Mummy prove that this can work really well, I think.

What about a combination?   Horror set during the American Civil War?   Probably in some ways Horror would go over better with the larger audience then than Historical Ficiton, but I tend to like both, so I am probably not the best judge.

I usually try and go for gothic fiction.

I would rather read Historical Fiction than Horror but if there are too many facts in the hist fiction then I would switch to horror!

It really depends on people's tastes
