Isaac Marion's Warm Bodies

The author’s narrative, ripe with horrifying descriptions, is nonetheless told with compassion appealing to the emotions of the audience

“Strawberry Spring” offers the reader an opportunity to “show that we are not afraid” of facing our fears (King, “Why We Crave” 1). After all, anyone who has heard of Stephen King will automatically know that reading one of his stories may result in a thrill. For example, near the beginning of the narrator’s encounter, “a junior named John Dancey” happened upon a “dead girl lying in a shadowy corner of the Animal Sciences parking lot” (King, “Strawberry Spring” 2). Accordingly, the explicitly specific imagery used to reveal the brutality of Gale Cerman’s death is quite unsettling! Most of us spend our entire lives avoiding our “hysterical fear” of death, and allowing us to read such a description is “daring [our] nightmares” (King, “Why We Crave” 1). “Strawberry Spring” fulfills Stephen King’s claim that one reason we watch and read horror is to show “that we are not afraid” (1).

The spookiest experience of my life was when i saw my grandmother sitting in her old chair after she died. This scenario is related to Gothic Literature and Magical Realism because it contains supernatural things like a ghost, a strange or scary plot, and a gloomy mood.

However, Oates’ “Where is Here”is an example of Gothic Literature because it contains a spooky and egear plot, an ambiguous ending, and tortured characters.While Julio Cortazar’s “House Taken Over” is an example of Magical Realism because it uses weird, strange plots that seem regular as if it were a part of daily life.

Gothic literature is a style of writing dating back to 1764, some of the most important elements of this writing style are of an eerie setting and mental decay, stories that made great use of these elements are: “The Raven”, “Black Cat”, “The House of Usher”, and “The Devil and Tom Walker”.

People experience different emotions that can drastically change within seconds and, cannot remain controlled. During the course of “The Most Dangerous Game”, “Scarlet Ibis” and “The Use of Force”, the author demonstrates how a person can change from calm and collected to an assailant. Sickness comes in many forms, both physical and mental. Together both can affect emotions, actions which those two then lead into flaws and faults being revealed.

Gothic literature is the genre known as a mix of horror, death, mysteries, and love. This kind of literature is still well known to this day with its use of intriguing the reader to reading vile romance stories. In the book The Night Circus, the gothic elements portrayed would be a magical romance with death, and darkness of architecture.

Others find death’s narration entertaining, sardonic, sympathetic and profound. The reaction of the audience is not swayed nor forced by an author-created sense of emotion in the story. By presenting most details using a matter-of-fact tone and the style of brief news headings, the author, vie his narration technique, allows the audience to connect directly with the protagonist.

Authors use a number of different tones, settings, themes, characterizations, and points of view in order to create a fictional world inside the readers head.

Elements of suspense are the literary version of horror movie music. They make reading a thrilling experience and are prevalent in many texts, including those analyzed in this essay. Terrible Things by Eve Bunting and The Lottery by Shirley Jackson are more mysterious and subtle in the way elements are communicated, while in Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allen Poe and Contents of a Dead Man’s Pocket by Jack Finney the suspense is very evident and there is an aspect of fear in both passages. Some of the most prominent of these suspense elements that are expressed include universal fears and foreshadowing, which create fear for what is to come. Dramatic irony and anticipation or dread cause the reader to sense that something bad will happen.

The use of Irony, foreshadowing, and reverse psychology help create the mood in both of Edgar Allan Poe’s stories, “Cask of Amontillado “ and “ The Fall of the House of Usher” because it helps keep the readers interested. These help the readers imagine a vivid picture and provide deeper understanding.

Gothic horror uses “the supernatural” to create a sense of fear – both real and imagined – in a reader. The protagonists in Stephen King’s The Shining and Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Cask of Amontillado” endure psychological turmoil as a result of the inanimate coming to life. For instance, the Overlook Hotel and catacombs drive both protagonists to self-destruction from the sense of confinement they produce. Similarly, alcohol is a driving force behind acts of murder. Finally, objects like the boiler in The Shining and the coat of arms in “The Cask of Amontillado” represent the character’s psychological undoing. As such, the inanimate foreshadows the main character’s eventual demise by facilitating their

Edgar Allan Poe, renowned as the foremost master of the short-story form of writing, chiefly tales of the mysterious and macabre, has established his short stories as leading proponents of “Gothic” literature. Although the term “Gothic” originally referred only to literature set in the Gothic (or medieval) period, its meaning has since been extended to include a particular style of writing. In order for literature to be “Gothic,” it must fulfill some specific requirements. Firstly, it must set a tone that is dark, somber, and foreboding.

One of Poe’s most famous works was The Tell-Tale Heart which explores murder, mental illness, cruelty and horror. The viewer becomes aware of the unprovoked mental challenges between characters which heightens the tension and fear, as darkness envelops the reader and the strong beating of a heart gradually grows louder.
