Resumo: Despite of what Brazilian literary criticism and historiography of 19th and 20th centuries declare, Gothic can be found in Brazilian literature. Recent studies have shown that regionalist fiction is one of the most developed proses in Brazilian terror, horror and thriller literature, characterizing the up-country, specially the sertões, as an authentic locus horribilis. In the novels O reino encantado: crônica sebastianista (1878), by Araripe Júnior, and Os Jagunços: novela sertaneja (1898), by Afonso Arinos, their narrators, to describe the messianic movements of Pedra Bonita and Canudos respectively, use a horrifying and macabre language to turn the Brazilian Northeastern landscape into a gloomy and obscure scenery. Both narratives explore the space not only as the stage in which the atrocities of the plots are practiced and suffered, but also as the main narrative element that constitutes an oppressive and fatal atmosphere. While O reino encantado describes the place of Pedra Bonita’s rituals to evoke feelings of horror and fear, Os Jagunços uses the sertaneja nature to demonstrate the republican soldiers’ terror in front of the canudenses. ---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22409/gragoata.2018n47a1185

Nesse contexto, a prosa regionalista desponta como uma ramificação mais desenvolvida da literatura de terror, horror e suspense no Brasil, em que o interior do país, especialmente os sertões, se transforma em um autêntico locus horribilis. Nos romances O reino encantado: crônica sebastianista (1878), de Araripe Júnior, e Os Jagunços: novela sertaneja (1898), de Afonso Arinos, os narradores, ao utilizarem uma retórica macabra e horrorizante para descrever, respectivamente, os movimentos messiânicos de Pedra Bonita e de Canudos, constroem uma paisagem nordestina lúgubre e macabra. Em ambas as narrativas, o espaço não é apenas o palco em que se praticam e sofrem as atrocidades das tramas, mas também é o principal responsável pela constituição de uma atmosfera opressora e funesta. Enquanto O reino encantado descreve o sítio dos rituais da seita de Pedra Bonita de forma a provocar sentimentos de horror e ojeriza, Os Jagunços utilizam-se da natureza sertaneja para explicitar o terror dos soldados republicanos diante dos canudenses. ---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22409/gragoata.2018n47a1185Universidade Federal Fluminense2018-12-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/3360910.22409/gragoata.v23i47.33609Gragoatá; Vol. 23 No. 47 (2018): Monstrous Organization; 910-925Gragoatá; v. 23 n. 47 (2018): Monstruosa organização; 910-9252358-41141413-907310.22409/gragoata.v23i47reponame:Gragoatáinstname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFFporhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/33609/19596Copyright (c) 2019 Gragoatáinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCastro, Hélder BrinateOliveira Neto, Godofredo de2019-08-23T11:13:59Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/33609Revistahttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoataPUBhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/oai||revistagragoata@gmail.com2358-41141413-9073opendoar:2019-08-23T11:13:59Gragoatá - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)false
