Horror Fiction : Terrifying You Since 1763

MORROR17ICTION TERRIFYING YOU SINCE 1763 The oldest and strongest human emotion is fear. It has been instilled in people since time began. It was fear that initiated the establishment of faith and religion. In the work "An Introduction to Studying Popular Culture", Dominic Strinati defines horror “as a genre that represents the need for suppression if the horror shown is interpreted as expressing uncomfortable and disturbing desires which need to be contained." Horror refers to a very wide field of work that is difficult to define in a single sentence definition. Therefore, the most accurate definition is the one that defines horror through each of its categories and its subgenres. THERE ARE 3 CATEGORIES OF THE HORROR GENRE MARVELOUS FANTASTIC UNCANNY † Vampires t Werewolves t Living dead † Demons † ffers readers several alternatives † Supernatural t we can decide whether they its existence of the paranormal or as a hallucination of the main protagonist t Unreal events † Impossible or irrational Marvelous - seemingly irrational and incomprehensible phenomena can be explained only by accepting the second layer of reality - the supernatural while the story lasts Uncanny - the end of the story contains elements Fantastic- does not allow as clear explanations of the irrational SUBGENRES OF HORROR RURAL HORROR , also known as redneck horror, is related to a specific location, such as a village or country. It uses locations situated far from civilization. COSMIC HORROR uses elements of science fiction and depicts emotions when a person finds out something he would rather not know about. APOCALYPTIC HORROR deals with the end of the world caused by various factors. It is also known as end of the world horror. CRIME HORROR compounds the elements of crime/detective story and horror. The main plot is based on a crime with escalating tension with the addition of a horror element. EROTIC HORROR combines sensual imagery with horror overtones or elements of the plot. The most famous archetypes of the erotic horror are the vampires OCCULT HORROR focuses on exorcism, the arrival of the antichrist, cults, mysticism, curses and a wide range of so called occult sciences. PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR focuses on the fear of the main protagonist portraying his feelings of guilt, questioning his faith and the stability of his mind. SURREAL HORROR books not only tell a terrifying story, but also deeply disturb the reader. Besides the classic elements of horror, this subgenre also contains elements of surrealism: dreaminess, grotesqueness, bizarreness and the fantastic. VISCERAL HORROR is the most shocking and disturbing of all the subgenres of horror. It is full of blood, gore and brutality. It depicts the most grotesque and perverse forms of murder, butchery and mutilation of human body. HORROR IN LITERATURE Gothic fiction is a genre or mode of literature that combines fiction, horror and romanticism. Its origin is attributed to English author Horace Walpole, in his 1763 novel The Castle of Otranto, subtitled "A Gothic Story." The atmosphere of Gothic fiction feeds on a pleasing sort of terror, an extension of Romantic literary pleasures.
