Like all genres, literary fiction included, horror is a watery one. What makes something horror? What makes something literary? No one can say exactly. (...) I suppose my idea of literary horror is similar to the “suggestive horror” that Brian Evenson discusses during an interview at The White Review: “The notion of a more suggestive horror, which raises the spectre of an insidiously elusive reality, is much more frightening than a lot of what gets called horror, and more realistic than what gets called realism.”
Book suggested:
- The Changeling by Victor LaValle
- Last Days by Brian Evenson
- Beloved by Toni Morrison
- .Piercing by Ryu Murakami
- The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson
- A Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay
- After the People Lights Have Gone Off by Stephen Graham Jones
- Blood Crime by Sebastià Alzamora
- Let the Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist
- House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski
