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 Alvares 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.
