This course delves into the realm of horror in fiction literature, exploring the origins of horror writing, its evolution through the literary eras, and its impact upon modern society.

By studying these artisans of the macabre - among other - we will achieve a fuller understanding about horror fiction, its place in the world of academia, and its ongoing appeal for a cross-section of American readers.
