RESUMO:

The study investigated the interface between horror literature and education. Its
relevance refers to the valorization of the presence of horror stories in the classroom
once the fear experienced through this genre is a way of knowing and strengthening
our emotional structures to face horrors in life. Fear is the oldest feeling, the
strongest of mankind, and among its several kinds, the fear related to the stranger is
perhaps the most powerful. The research was carried out in a public school in the city
of Natal/RN, Brazil, in a class of 5th grade of elementary school with 17 students.
The study is based on a qualitative research that focused on the participant
observation with intervention. Video records, interviews and field diary were used as
instruments for data construction. The teacher of the class was trained to act as
mediator of the process. The reading sessions of horror literature were supported by
the scaffolding methodology described by Graves and Graves (1995). The focus of
the analysis was on the teacher training and the fear experimentation through Horror
Literature classes. The literary corpus was composed by short stories of the book
"Sete ossos e uma maldição" by Rosa Amanda Strausz (2013) and "Sete histórias
para balançar o esqueleto" by Angela Lago (2011), totalizing 8 literature reading
sessions. The theoretical contribution is based on children’s literature studies:
Amarilha (2009), Bettelheim (2015), Zilberman (2004); Horror Literature: Burke
(2013), Eco (1994), France (2008), Lovecraft (2007), Todorov (2010; 2014), among
others. Results point to the need for specific training on the work with horror stories,
which may encounter resistance from the mediator; the apprentices engaged in the
reading sessions, demonstrating appreciation of the genre and presenting criticality
to the themes; horror literature causes the feeling of physical or psychological fear in
the reader; the ultimate criterion for a work authenticity is not the plot, but the kind of
sensation it is able to produce. If horror literature deals with such a fundamental
human feeling - fear - it is relevant, therefore, that it becomes accessible to young
readers as a general experiment for life.
