Horror

Horror literature explores fear, dread, and the darker corners of human imagination. These stories confront readers with the supernatural, the psychologically disturbing, and the unknown, creating tension that lingers long after the last page. From gothic haunted houses to cosmic terrors, horror takes many unsettling forms. Foundational works include Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Bram Stoker's Dracula, and Edgar Allan Poe's tales of terror. Modern masters like Stephen King, Shirley Jackson, and H.P. Lovecraft have defined the genre for new generations.
