Author Reading | The Chinese Pleasure Book: The Connection to Health

Discussion | Horror and Terror in Literature


A panel discussion moderated by Casey Ellis, editor of First Came Fear: New Tales of Horror. Emerging ... more >> in the late 18th century as the dark side of Romanticism, horror is one of the oldest distinctive genres in literature. There is no doubting its popularity, but horror’s long history is so diverse it’s sometimes difficult to define. Are moody stories about ghosts and vampires related to gory tales of beasts and zombies? And are any of them connected to the more realistic terrors of murderous rogues and diabolical doctors? The book First Came Fear: New Tales of Horror, taking its title from a quote by H. P. Lovecraft, theorizes that the uniting factor in horror is the emotion of fear. But fear, like the genre it inspires, is legion in its varieties.
