Horror books have been part of the literary world for years, but it seems like horror in all its mediums has been on the upswing in recent times.

The Case of Charles Dexter Ward is a horror novel by the American writer H. P. Lovecraft (1890–1937). Charles Dexter Ward, a young man from a famous family, mysteriously disappeared from a mental hospital. Family doctor Willet tries to investigate the cause of Ward’s insanity and physiological changes. Willett learns that Ward has been trying to find the grave of his ancestor, Joseph Carven, for the past few years.

Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a gothic novella by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, first published in 1886.

In his thriller stories Poe tries to show psychic side of the crime from the inside. He is not interested in social roots of the crime, but in unmotivated actions that go beyond normal behavior of a person in the society.
