"It was at this precise moment that the nervousness he had hitherto experienced leaped the boundary line, and entered the state of fear, almost of acute, unreasoning fear. Before it turned into terror there was a further boundary to cross, and beyond that again lay the region of pure horror." - Algernon Blackwood
Time and time again, the characters in these tales are confronted with situations to which the only possible response is horror. Horror that paralyzes the will, numbs the senses, overwhelms rational thinking. The provocations for that horror are many: an encounter with a ghost, an unholy survival from the past, a body returned from the dead. The fear that they stimulate, however, is an emotional reaction that almost all readers can relate and enjoy to.
