Mystery Literature & Suspense Literature

This one-semester course introduces students to the genres, conventions, and techniques in mystery, suspense, and horror writing, and compares these literary styles to all forms of literature. Students will examine what motivates mysteries, the tension that defines suspense, and how thematically, the fear of death, failure, and the unknown makes horror so compelling. This course presents the works of key contributors and creators of these genres in media from novels to short stories to films to even survival-themed games.
