Horror

Horror fiction is fiction in any medium intended to scare, unsettle, or horrify the audience.

Since the 1960s, any work of fiction with a morbid, gruesome, surreal, or exceptionally suspenseful or frightening theme has come to be called "horror". Horror fiction often overlaps science fiction or fantasy, all three of which categories are sometimes placed under the umbrella classification speculative fiction. ...more

    A number of years ago, when I was a freshly-appointed instructor, I met, for the first time, a certain eminent historian of science.
