Authors writing for the horror genre succeed in creating an eerie and frightening atmosphere for the reader. While the featured horror is often supernatural, it may spring from a very real origin. Several classic horror stories have become icons of the horror genre. They inspire modern retellings throughout print, on stage, and on film.
