By Ola Smith HORROR GENRE

ORIGINS AND DEVELOPMENT  Originated from early folklore (about vampires, werewolves, monsters, etc.)  Written horror genre started with Shakespeare  The Victorians created both the horror and the ghost story, and Charles Dickens perfected the connection of the two genres  Spiritualism caused the topic of the dead returning to confront the living  Novel form of horror only began in the mid 1970s, whereas before, it was all in short story form

CHARACTERISTICS  Expect the unexpected  Setting has a sense of dread  Atmosphere is intense, pace is fast  Supernatural elements involved sometimes  Ending can leave reader with the feeling that the threat still lingers  Main focus is emotions, the fear of the main character  The main character is usually a good person

H.P. LOVECRAFT  Howard Phillips Lovecraft, born on 20 August 1890  Started writing fiction in 1917, but wrote articles in scientific newspapers before  Author of horror, fantasy, and science-fiction, especially the sub- genre of “weird fiction”  His main belief was what he called “cosmicism” or “cosmic horror”: the idea that life is unfathomable to the human mind and that the universe is hostile to humankind’s interests  Was inspired by his own nightmares. His study of the scientific progress made him see the human race as unimportant, helpless, weak creatures overpowered by the universe  Notable books: The Tomb, The Tree, The Alchemist, Dagon, Beyond the Wall of Sleep, Hypnos, The Nameless City 2/27/Lovecraft1934.jpg

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION  “Believe only half of what you see and nothing that you hear.” Edgar Allen Poe  “Alone. Yes, that’s the key word, the most awful word in the English tongue.

Lovecraft  Notable horror novels:  Dracula – Bram Stoker  Frankenstein – Mary Shelley  Interview With the Vampire – Anne Rice  I am Legend – Richard Matheson  The Silence of the Lambs – Thomas Harris  The Exorcist – William Peter Blatty
