DESCRIPTION:Horror literature for children is becoming more and more studi
 ed\, but a history is yet to be written. An intertextual approach might be
  one point of access\, especially from a crossover point of view. Accordin
 g to Swedish scholars\, Sweden has no horror tradition in literature while
  there actually is a strong one\, not in the least for children\, to this 
 day undiscovered by scholars\, and not seldom in intertextual dialogue wit
 h a European tradition\, for instance English Gothic. In my lecture I will
  map this tradition for the first time\, and also suggest a general defini
 tion of Horror in literature and other arts.\n\n*Mattias Fyhr* is Associat
 e Professor in Literature. His books include _De mörka labyrinterna. Goti
 ken i litteratur\, film\, musik och rollspel_ (The Dark Labyrinths: The Go
 thic in Literature\, Film\, Music and Role-Playing Games\, 2003) and _Död
  men drömmande. H P Lovecraft och den magiska modernismen_ (Dead But Drea
 ming: H P Lovecraft and the Magical Modernism\, 2006). A two-volume survey
  of the Swedish horror tradition in literature\, including Children’s Li
 terature is forthcoming.
