Abstract

Horror literature as a genre relies not primarily on the direct depiction of violence, monstrosity, or shocking imagery, but rather on the strategic manipulation of readerly expectation. One of the most effective narrative mechanisms enabling this effect is foreshadowing — a literary technique through which the author embeds signals of future events by means of motifs, symbolic markers, structural displacements, or atmospheric cues.
