Since the dawn of human feeling of fear has always been that most stood out, the privations of a time without the amenities that modern life provides us. And among all the fears, the fear of the 'unknown' always frightened with greater intensity. Perhaps there will come a taste for the horror genre and fiction. The American writer HP Lovecraft argued that there is no man who at least once has not felt the spine chilling thrill, when absorbed by the darkness of night, lost in a terrible nightmare, when crossing a forest, or listen whisperings in corners dark house on a stormy night. The master also defended those who can not be touched by the fantastic literature, could not due to lack of imagination and strength to break away from reality. We have national writers who wrote in the last century has fantastic literature, which from reading these texts can feel the force of the horror genre and horror in their texts. Writing Master Machado de Assis, is not limited to literature that is most widespread. There are tales of the master that are chilling, and show an ax free "halters" literary unfortunately the mark. Among these tales I quote: 'The Church of the Devil' (comic tale), 'Eternal Life' and 'The Secret Cause'. In addition to his translation of the poem 'The Raven' another great master Edgar Allan Poe. Another example of the master Alvares de Azevedo, young writer, who died in promising culmination of his genius, with only 21 years. We can realize the maturity of their writing, for example, with its unforgettable 'Night at the Tavern', and his poetry sad and reflective, 'If I died tomorrow' and the poem 'She is, she is,' all his short work deserves attention and study. We can not leave out the master Aluisio Azevedo, recognized by the books of the realist movement 'The Slum' surprises us with the books 'Skeleton' and 'Demons' using the pseudonym Victor Leal that could perhaps give rise to their imaginative writing without judgments and literary freedom. The book 'Demons' surprises for the imaginative creativity, remembering that we talk about a book from 1891!
Today national writer suffers a lot to launch, promote and sell their works mainly. There are good texts of terror and poetry, which in addition to please fans of the genre, surprised all the readers who "allow" and "deem a chance" to work, the high level of quality of the text and writing. The biggest hurdle is to show the reader of books "international" not only the public that consumes horror stories, that in our country there are good writers of fantasy literature! For if the film lost due to high amounts invested in "big productions" since the book does not lose to anyone, the Brazilian is one of the most creative people in the world! Do not misunderstand me, has a lot of good out yes! But I think we have to reserve a space in our hearts and stands for national works; After all they can to make sure they did not repent, the only risk is the habit of reading good literature Brazilian. Read more books by national authors, too many good people out there ...
