What is Horror/Paranormal Fiction?
Horror stories are designed to evoke fear, fascination, or revulsion in the reader. This is done either through supernatural elements or psychological circumstances. Werewolves, vampires, zombies, ghosts, and monsters are common in horror stories, as are people who are considered crazy and bent on the harm of others. Horror stories feed on basic human emotions, eliciting sympathy and dread whenever possible.
Books in the paranormal fiction genre are set in the real world, but they include experiences that defy scientific explanations. For example, stories set on earth that include things like angels, demons, ghosts, psychics, vampires, etc. [Book Genre Dictionary - Horror / Paranormal]
