Abstract

The article examines the use of horror in 19th century children's literature. The use of horror and fright to teach children morality while educating them about superstitious beliefs is explored. Differences between ghost stories and witch stories are discussed and particular focus is given to social disregard for superstition combined with concerns of children's susceptibility to demonic forces. Differences in the nature of scary stories published in Great Britain and the U.S. are presented. The influence of gothic and fanciful themes in stories including "The Secret Garden," by Frances Hodgson Burnett and "Alice in Wonderland," by Lewis Carroll is also discussed.
