Popis: The essay aims to examine the human body as a source of horror in literature. More specifically, we seek to describe the ways in which the human body is represented in horror narratives. In order to do so, we discuss the body horror as a narrative tradition that exploits the fear we feel of our own body. The works to be examinated are Gastão Cruls’ (1888-1959) short narratives "G.C.P.A." (1920) and "O espelho" (1938).
