I’m sure it could be argued, and maybe even successfully, that Joseph Conrad’s Heart Of Darkness doesn’t qualify as Horror. But I’ll be damned if I’ll be the one to make that argument! First published in 1902, this novella explores morality and human nature in “darkest” Africa and comes to a deeply noirish conclusion, one I can only describe as true-horror. As a co-production between LoudLit.org and LiteralSystems.org this is quite a fine sounding audiobook, reading duties are split between Tom Franks, providing the narration and David Kirkwood, who performs the story within the story. Check it out and let me know if you agree with me that Heart Of Darkness is Horror.
