In "The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allan Poe, we witness a gradual transformation of the house itself, mirroring the deteriorating mental and physical state of the characters. The decaying mansion becomes a symbol of their inner turmoil and impending doom.
"Why Do Some Brains Enjoy Fear" by Allegra Ringo explores the psychological transformation that occurs when we experience fear. It delves into the concept of how some people find enjoyment in being scared, suggesting a transformation of emotions and perceptions.
Lastly, "The Raven" also by Edgar Allan Poe, portrays the transformation of the narrator's emotional state. As the raven repeatedly utters the word "nevermore," it intensifies the narrator's despair and pushes them further into madness.
These stories demonstrate how transformation, whether it's the decay of a house, the psychological response to fear, or the unraveling of one's sanity, adds to the overall scare factor and creates a haunting atmosphere.
