Horror and What It Does To Your Mind

While not everyone enjoys a good scare, there is no denying that horror gets your adrenaline pumping. If you are a horror enthusiast, head to Ribemedia for some serious dose of horror. Although we know that the emotions we feel and the reactions triggered are not real, horror books still manage to scare the daylight out of people.


According to recent research, horror has the capability to activate our brain and get the creative juices flowing. Since the content in horror books are so strong, it makes our brain react instantly and this gets your brain going. Since the shock factor makes it difficult to process what's going in the story, the reactions are swift and sudden. Since our brain is programmed to believe everything it sees and reads, we automatically react to an unnerving section within the book.

Empathizing with the Characters

When readers get excessively attached to the characters, the reactions and emotions are stronger. They experience excitement, anxiety, sweating and increase in their heart rate. Some readers experience extreme reactions like muscle contractions when they cannot contain their excitement.

According to another theory, horror books are known to help us manage our own fear. These books would have a cathartic effect, which helps us develop our most ancient and hidden fears. If you are looking for a good scare, head to Ribemedia. The online library has some of the best horror titles from horror experts around the world. Let's unleash the monsters!
