A good example is 'The Yellow Wallpaper' by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. The woman in the story is in an isolated house, surrounded by nature. As she descends into madness, there are elements of the horror of self - discovery. Her own mind becomes a sort of unknown territory, much like the unknown aspects of nature in transcendentalist thought. The wallpaper, which is part of the room (a man - made part of nature in a sense), takes on a life of its own and torments her, showing how the familiar can become terrifying in the context of a transcendentalist - influenced horror story.
