SUMMARY:

This study focus on analyze the horror category between two narratives: A estrada de martírio, one of the texts that is part of Famintos a novel written by Luís Romano (1962) and the short story O homem da rua, which is part of the book Contos do nascer da Terra written by Mia Couto (1997), observing how this category presents itself in textual area as reception by the reader. To analyze, we choose Edmond Burke’s (1993) theory of Sublime as we understands that it is very important for contemporary critical reflection on horror narratives, in addition Kristeva’s (1980) concept about abject which dialogues with sublime Burkean, having in this a precursor that would be called abject in the 21st century.
