Horror Fiction

Origins

Horror Fiction is a visual style that aims to depict fear, terror, and the supernatural in a captivating and unsettling manner. It gained popularity in the late 18th century with the emergence of Gothic literature, with influential works like Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein' and Bram Stoker's 'Dracula'. This style became particularly famous during the 20th century with the rise of horror movies and iconic authors such as H.P. Lovecraft and Stephen King. Horror Fiction often employs dark and intense color palettes, dramatic lighting, grotesque and macabre imagery, and eerie atmospheres to evoke feelings of suspense and horror.
