A tale may not display a great deal of structural, psychological, or narrative sophistication, though it might possess all three, but it seldom takes its eye off its primary goal, the creation of a particular emotional state in its reader. Depending on the tale, that state could be wonder, amazement, shock, terror, anger, anxiety, melancholia, or the momentary frisson of horror.” MayStatesMightEyeThreeBitsGoalDealsWonderEffectsCreationEmotionalParticularReaderBalanceHorrorAnxietyConcernHarmonyTerrorTalesPsychologicalPrimariesNarrativeDramaticShockDisplayInherentExaggerationMomentaryAmazementSophisticationWildnessDecorum Author:Peter Straub
