Horror Fiction is, broadly, fiction in any medium intended to scare, unsettle, or horrify the audience. Historically, the cause of the "horror" experience has often been the intrusion of an evil ---or, occasionally, misunderstood--- supernatural element into everyday human experience. Since the 1960s, any work of fiction with a morbid, gruesome, surreal, or exceptionally suspenseful or frightening theme has come to be called "horror." Horror fiction often overlaps science fiction or fantasy, all three of which categories are sometimes placed under the umbrella classification speculative fiction.

Rogue World is a fantasy site dedicated to the rogueness in us all, to the deviant mind-set, the abnormal, the love of everything gothic, horror and fantasy.

The para-normal, ghosts, fairies, demons, witches, warlocks, dragons and monsters are but a few of the subjects explored here. So sit back, relax and open your mind to the facinating subtleties and mysteries of the "worlds" behind the world.
