Storytelling is considered a fundamental human trait. In his stories, the "homo narrans" gives us an insight into his world and his everyday life. Especially with the narrative genre of the legend, in which an extraordinary plot is told with the claim to credibility, this is particularly important. One of the leitmotifs of legends is the inexplicable filled with fear, which gives demonological narratives great importance even in traditional legends. But “modern legend” also deal thematically with fear and how to cope with it, so that demonological forces seem to be at work in our thoroughly rationalized postmodern everyday life - even if only in fabulous stories that are made up of a duplication of truth and doubt .By reading selected texts, we want to deal with those horrific stories, also with regard to their reception in popular culture (horror novels, horror films, zombie festivals, etc.).
