Materialização do medo: Livro-Híbrido da emoção do terror ao horror

Abstract

This project aims to investigate the concept of hybrid book and their ability to provide immersive emotional experiences to the reader; that is, it seeks to delve deeper into what these conception methods are and what is considered to belong to this genre of book, namely the interaction between the reader and the book as an object. Creating a reading that is not merely mental but also visual, which can promote or create emotional experiences. Thus, the book is conceived as an immersive experience, capable of establishing a deeper emotional connection with the narrative content. In line with this theoretical framework, the aim of the practical part of the project is to adapt an existing literary work to a hybrid book format, integrating narrative and graphic elements. The aim is for the book to offer the opportunity for interaction, requiring the reader to take action as well as process and experience, addressing the theme of terror, with a focus on the fascination caused by fear, explored through the narrative. Of the emotions most explored in this genre, fear is one of the most frequent. Horror stories exert a significant impact on readers' imaginations while simultaneously eliciting feelings of dread and attraction. In this context, the anthology of fear presents itself as a pertinent approach, allowing the gathering of different authors and styles that explore the theme from different perspectives. Through experimentation with narrative methods and their application to hybrid books, we seek to offer the reader a unique experience that differs from conventional reading. This approach aims to create an immersive environment, capable of provoking intense emotional reactions and physical sensations, transforming the act of reading into a sensory and emotionally engaging experience
