Horror tends to destabilize the binaries that other stories source their tension. It complicates the understanding of familiar versus strange, creating unique conflicts.
Horror stories promise uncertainty to the very end, confronting readers with the stark possibility that things might not turn out well, unlike many other narratives.
The genre of horror exploits our basic instinct of disbelief suspension, drawing us into moments where safety feels threatened, enhancing our engagement with the story.
