Summary Fantasy books are a favorite within the genre of speculative fiction, and while horror doesn't necessarily need to have supernatural or mystical elements, it thrives when it does. This makes a blend of fantasy and horror a perfect match when it comes to stories that can engage viewers who are looking for a magical plot that goes further into the most terrifying aspects of storytelling.
1 8 Between Two Fires Written by Christopher Buehlman The demons and angels of heaven and hell play a major role in Christopher Buehlman's Between Two Fires, a Medieval story set during the height of the Black Plague. Thomas, the protagonist, is a knight who embarks on a dark and religious quest with a young girl, Delphine, across Europe.
However, the upsetting aspects of the story are balanced by a true and compelling narrative about the power of friendship and family. One of the biggest powers of the wicked carnival in the novel is its ability to tempt the characters with their deepest desires, only to trap them with a hidden catch for granting the wish.
5 The Year Of The Witching Written by Alexis Henderson The history of early puritanical societies and the Witch Trials are frequently touched upon by horror fiction, and the addition of real magic into the story makes The Year of the Witching an excellent addition to the fantastical canon. Alexis Henderson touches upon feelings of isolation and alienation in the novel as Immanuelle is ostracized from her strict society because of her mixed-race heritage and her mother's secret history.
This connection to real life allows the reader to draw comparisons between magic and horror with real-world issues. On the scale of how terrifying a horror book is, Starling House is on the lighter side, scaring the audience with the implication of horror rather than actual events. For readers who are looking for an atmospheric first impression of horror fantasy, Starling House is the perfect choice. Opal and Arthur capture every facet of the mysterious house from their dual perspectives.
