Synopsis

The hearse with the weird odor slowed to a stop before the entrance. The sound of pebbles could be heard bouncing on the ceiling. There were footsteps coming from the corridor, and there seemed to be someone sawing next door. The door knob to the room rattled slightly, and the faucet in the bathroom kept dripping even though it had been screwed shut. There was a rubber ball that rolled on its own underneath the bed. Wet footsteps started to surface one after another on the floor. At 3 am, Chen Ge held a cleaver in his hand as he hid beside the room heater. The call he was trying to make was finally answered. "Landlord, is this what you meant by 'the house can be a little crowded at night'‽"

Hayle Coven Novels

I’m an international, multiple award-winning author with a passion for the voices in my head.

Her dad's a demon. And she just wants to be ordinary. I batted at the curl of smoke drifting off the tip of my candle and tried not to sneeze. My heavy velvet cloak fell in oppressive, suffocating folds in the closed space of the ceremony chamber, the cowl trapping the annoying bits of puff I missed. I hated the way my eyes burned and teared, an almost constant distraction. Not that I didn't welcome the distraction, to be honest. Anything to take my mind from what went on around me. Being part of a demon raising is way less exciting than it sounds. Sydlynn Hayle's teen life couldn't be more complicated. Trying to please her coven is all a fantasy while the adventure of starting over in a new town and fending off a bully cheerleader who hates her are just the beginning of her troubles. What to do when delicious football hero Brad Peters--boyfriend of her cheer nemesis--shows interest? If only the darkly yummy witch, Quaid Moromond, didn't make it so difficult for her to focus on fitting in with the normal kids despite her paranormal, witchcraft laced home life. Add to that her crazy grandmother's constant escapes driving her family to the brink and Syd's between a rock and a coven site. Forced to take on power she doesn't want to protect a coven who blames her for everything, only she can save her family's magic. If her family's distrust doesn't destroy her first.

[Horror-Spieleentwickler: Meine Spiele sind wirklich nicht so gruselig!] Ich hasse Horror.

So sehr, dass ich anfange zu kotzen, wenn ich eine bestimmte Schwelle erreiche. Und trotzdem bin ich ein Horror-Spieleentwickler. Ein miserabler noch dazu.

Sure. 'Dracula' is a great start. It has a straightforward plot about a vampire preying on people, and the gothic elements are easy to follow. Another good one is 'The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' by Robert Louis Stevenson. It's short and the concept of a split personality is both fascinating and a bit spooky. Also, 'The Monkey's Paw' by W.W. Jacobs is a simple yet effective pulp horror story that shows how wishes can have terrifying consequences.

How did pulp horror novels influence modern horror literature?

Pulp horror novels have had a profound influence on modern horror literature. Firstly, they created a foundation of horror archetypes that modern writers can draw from or subvert. For instance, the idea of the cursed object from many pulp horror novels can be seen in modern works. Secondly, pulp horror was not afraid to be lurid and extreme in its descriptions of violence and the supernatural, and while modern horror may be more refined in some ways, it still owes a debt to that boldness. Moreover, pulp horror's ability to create a sense of dread and unease, as in 'The Shining', has been emulated and developed in contemporary horror writing.
