Abstract

"Fear is the thing I fear most in the world" Montaigne said in one of his essays (MONTAIGNE, 1991, p. 40).The fear of the unknown is a human feeling inherent in the constitution and the horror genre is characterized by the ability to exploit this feature. However, the literature produces a strange fear that can come from any subject from causing discomfort to the player that appeals to reading. Above all issues related to death and survival causes singular effects. Reflecting on these aspects, we propose a comparative analysis among the short stories "Genaro" of Álvares de Azevedo, "Black Cat" of Edgar Allan Poe and "Apparition" of Guy de Maupassant, to establish relations between them. To this end, we will consider the points of hesitation that works based on the studies of Lovecraft, and King of Todorov.
