Well, over time, modern horror novels have become more complex. They no longer rely solely on the traditional 'scary monster' trope. Instead, they might focus on the horror within human nature, like in 'Gone Girl' which has elements of horror in its exploration of a toxic relationship. Technology also plays a role in the evolution. Some modern horror novels use modern technology like social media or virtual reality as a source of horror, which was not possible in the past. And the characters in modern horror novels are often more multi - dimensional, with their own backstories and motives that add to the horror rather than just being simple victims or heroes.
The horror genre novels have changed a great deal over time. In the early days, like with 'Dracula' and 'Frankenstein', the focus was often on the supernatural and the creation of monsters. Later, in the mid - 20th century, novels like 'The Shining' started to explore more psychological horror. Now, horror novels can incorporate elements from other genres, such as science fiction in some zombie apocalypse novels.
