Without, further ado let’s analyze Edgar Allan Poe’s writing The Tell-Tale Heart. The first horror genre element I noticed in his writing was an internal source of horror.
This article will examine how H.P. Lovecraft creates suspense using Narrator’s point of view and sensory language. I will be showing how the literary devices create suspense by using quotes and explaining the reasons why they create suspense. Understanding suspense and literary devices can help us read and understand the story. “Pickman’s Model” By H.P. Lovecraft tells
He had an early enthusiasm for Arabian Nights and led to his pseudonym of "Abdul Alhazred," under this pseudonym Lovecraft became the author of the mythical Necronomicon. During his youth Lovecraft was lonely and suffered from frequent illnesses, many of them psychological (Joshi 3). Due to his constant illnesses, his school attendance was sporadic.

In both the cases, it is a scientific experiment gone wrong but in Stevenson’s text, the horror lies in the transformation of the protagonist. Set in fog-bound London, this Gothic masterpiece explores the baser instincts in a human being that necessarily hastens the doom of the same.
A good aspect used in the movie was character portrayal. Each character in the movie brought a new, different piece to the story. This made the movie more effectively entertaining because, even if there are characters that aren't necessarily likeable or nice, they are still portrayed in a way that puts a smile on the viewer's face. One example of this is Audrey’s boyfriend, Orin.

In conclusion, Stephen King has become one of the masters of the horror genre, along with H.P. Lovecraft. King has managed to scare generations of people through the words that he has typed out on paper, and continues to do so since 1974.

These horrors that King creates, along with other horror stories that various authors’ have written, are possibly just a way to make people feel better about the problems in their personal lives; in King’s book, Danse Macabre, King suggests just that by saying, "we make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones.

This terrifying novel sets the mood of the horrific thing that Holmes has commited, Watson finds his friend in an alleyway butchering the corpse of a man to then realise that his heart has been taken out. This sign shows this is the opposite of typical Sherlock, this is a sign of possible mind altering.
