Horror fiction.

Horror fiction is one of the most popular genres in literature. This genre appeared just in XVIII century. After that, it began to grow fast. At the beginning of XIX century, a famous novel in the style of horror was written: Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley.

In these books, you can find the description of the terrible. However, not all of them end badly. Such novels are made into films. Also this genre is studied in schools by students.

Characters from fairy tales often appear in horror fiction, such as ghosts and vampires.

These literature works are drawn beautifully and have fantastic pictures.

It was the last type of literature genre. Next time I will write about another them.
