Horror Fiction
Horror is a genre of speculative fiction that is intended to disturb, frighten, or scare an audience. Horror is often divided into the sub-genres of psychological horror and supernatural horror. Literary historian J. A. Cuddon, in 1984, defined the horror story as "a piece of fiction in prose of variable length... which shocks, or even frightens the reader, or perhaps induces a feeling of repulsion or loathing". Horror intends to create an eerie and frightening atmosphere for the reader. Often the central menace of a work of horror fiction can be interpreted as a metaphor for larger fears of a society.

Additionally, it creates a confined experience of fear for the audience, fostering a sense of immersion. Examples of this include the famous "rules of surviving a horror movie" speech from Wes Craven's 1996 slasher film '' Scream'' and the self-aware characters (including the main protagonist) slowly realizing they're ...
