Horror stories come in many forms. Written horror stories use the brilliance and mastery of the writer to captivate his readers and transform them into his characters’ situations. As R.L. Stine puts it, “I think you have to create a very close point of view. You have to be in the eyes of the narrator. Everything that happens, all the smells, all the sounds; then your reader starts to identify with that character and that’s what makes something really scary,” he mentions in an interview.

No one does this better than the maestro of horror, Stephen King. He classifies horror into three main types: “The Gross-out: the sight of a severed head tumbling down a flight of stairs, it’s when the lights go out and something green and slimy splatters against your arm. The Horror: the unnatural, spiders the size of bears, the dead waking up and walking around, it’s when the lights go out and something with claws grabs your arm. And the last and worse one: Terror, when you come home and notice everything you own had been taken away and replaced by an exact substitute. It’s when the lights go out and you feel something behind you, you hear it, you feel its breath against your ear, but when you turn around, there’s nothing there…”

There are many Stephen King wannabes. The internet has many forms of horror stories, but the interesting type is done in just two sentences. It may be considered an art to capture the feeling of fear in just two sentences.
