Horror fiction
Horror fiction is, broadly, fiction in any media intended to scare, unsettle or horrify the reader. Historically, the cause of the "horror" experience has necessarily been the intrusion of an evil, or occasionally misunderstood, supernatural element into everyday human experience. Since the 1960s, any work of fiction with a morbid, gruesome, surreal, exceptionally suspenseful or frightening theme has come to be called "horror". Horror fiction often overlaps with science fiction and/or fantasy, all of which have been placed under the umbrella category speculative fiction. See also supernatural fiction.
