In the romanticism, the horror was very popular, it was going to be some
relegated so from there came "CHEAP WRITERS".

This expression, actually is still, it's about the few money that the
writers covered for making horror stories, and so they were made for need
instead of conviction, they had a very low quality. Anyhow, they helped to
mantain alive the horror gender. When the printing technology became
better, everytime the horror literature was coming closer to the people
like banners, magazines and even newspapers and books. Actually this kind
of publications receive the name of "fanzines", becuz r made by a group
of fans about such a thing. These get closer for publish, their points of
view about the thing they were interested in, as their own creations.

Some learners got closer for editing their creations, and of this way
stand by an space for share stories and talk about the thing that they love.

There was a lot of promotion of a culture of some little fan groups, of the
horror gender. Thanx to those groups who belong Mary W. Shelley y Bram Stoker,
were the ones who wrote those novels, Frankenstein and Dracula. So this
gender was recoveried, and if the "cheap writers" were still staying, most
of the famousest novelists took their time for make a little horror story

For example, Charles Dickens made one of human spontaneous burning
(the lonely house), and Sir Arthur Conan doyle, maker of Sherlock Holmes
wrote a novel about vampires (The Sussex Vampire).

In adittion Alejandro Dumas made his own contribution to the gender with
the vampire of Carpatos. This deserves make more talking, since the begin
was the vampire, and don't forget that the tales belong to Europe.

In all case, the gotic gender would have been the only one used, but Edgar
Allan Poe, who could put together the poems with the horror(such as "The Cuervo"),
of psichological type, inspired principally becuz of its deliriums,
product of his vices by the alcohol and some other drugs. So is that in
Europe was the "clasical" gotic horror, in America was an horror more
"elaborated", where the horror didn't come from the outside, it came from
the inside of the victim (it was not up to Fred invented the psychoanalisis
that was called "psychological horror"). The Allan Poe's work wasn't
watched until he died, and then the writers dare to make own horrors,
not necesarily the ones who r case of discussion in legends and ancient
stories. The more well-known r Howard Philips Lovecraft, who almost
made his own religion with his Cthulhu stories. Lovecraft wrote
novels for money, so he was an "cheap writer", but his asphixiant style
made of cosmical-proporcioned horror, make him win great admirers on
the life.

Actually, there r lots of admirers of that sort (maybe the more obvious is Clive Barker).

When the century XX came, the horror lost some of interest, and up to
the 60s that relives, with the popularization of the bag novels.

At the same time, with the popularity of the films a new culture "multimedy"
where the novels appear quickly on the films. This became stronger on the 80s
when Stephen King is very easy to see, producyin 2 novels to year, Clive Barker
is on the "gore" subgender.

Actually, there r still a lot of horror novels, like Saga d' Lestat or Jurassic
Park, (but the gender of this last is horror, accion and science fiction. Now
well, we don't have to forget the evolution of fanzines, and now these r easiest
to find in sub and contracultural genders, as well asin the Dark and Neo-Dark
cultures.
