The idea people don’t consider horror to be true literature because it carries with it this connotation for blood and gore. They tend to think of horror writing in the extreme, calling up screenplays and movies with some nameless, faceless killer hacking up people, But there’s so much more. There are relationships and a bond that people have in overdramatic situations.The horror isn’t necessarily an outward terror like a vampire or a murderer, It’s, ‘Am I seeing that shadow? Is it just a shadow, or is it something else?’ or ‘What did they mean when they said this? I thought I saw a look on someone’s face when I was turning away. What did it mean? Am I in trouble? It might be the potential for memory loss and not knowing what’s going on. That’s terrifying.
