THRILLS and CHILLS The Gothic narrative A Study of Tales of Horror, the Macabre and the Supernatural © Copyright AATE 2016

Religion versus Science Many horror stories are based on the conflict between science and religion. Religion supports the idea that life is sacred and subject to divine laws which are outside the scope of scientists to interfere with. Scientists believe that they have the right to explore the laws of nature so they may create solutions to the problems of disease and suffering which afflict mankind. © Copyright AATE 2016

Wells created a tale in which a doctor tries to use surgery to quicken the process. © Copyright AATE 2016
