So, onto the next question...
What is horror?
Horror, a genre that has captivated the hearts of readers and viewers for centuries, has always fascinated me. As the author of one of the most iconic horror novels of all time, Frankenstein, I understand the power and allure of horror better than most.
To me, horror is more than just a scary story or a jump scare. It's an exploration of the depths of fear and the human psyche. It's a way to confront our innermost anxieties and the unknown darkness that lurks within us all.
When I wrote Frankenstein, I used horror to illuminate the dangers of playing god and the consequences of unchecked ambition. Through the terrifying tale of Victor Frankenstein and his creation, I was able to explore the complexities of human nature and the lengths we will go to achieve our desires.
But horror is not just about exploring our inner demons. It's also about experiencing the thrill of the unknown and the excitement of the unexpected. Horror allows us to step outside of our comfort zones and experience a world that is frighteningly different from our own.
In many ways, horror is a celebration of the human experience. It's a way to confront our fears, explore our limits, and discover the depths of our own resilience. Whether we are reading a chilling novel or watching a terrifying movie, horror has the power to unite us in a shared experience that is both thrilling and transformative.
So to me, horror is more than just a genre. It's an exploration of the human condition and all the darkness and light that comes with it. And though it may be terrifying at times, it is ultimately a powerful and necessary form of storytelling that allows us to confront our greatest fears and emerge stronger for it.
Authors Note: This, as you know is not from the actual Mary Shelly herself, a writer that I have a lot of respect and admiration for, but I wrote it as best I could as I would have seen her write a Foreword. It's not accurate but it's as close as I can get it.
