Based on the Deictic Shift Theory as adopted by cognitive poetics (Stockwell 2002), this paper offers an account of fear generating mechanisms involving spatial, temporal, perceptual, relational and compositional deictic shifts in Angela Carter’s The Bloody Chamber. Focusing on the ways the reader gets involved in the terrifying story of Carter’s protagonist, the paper uncovers the complex mechanism of the “production of horror” in the text.

Based on an analysis of two Prefaces to Horace Walpole’s The Castle of Otranto. A Gothic Story, the paper offers a cognitive poetics view of paratext, a literary device defined by Genette as “a threshold of interpretation”. Viewed as a symptom of the author’s presence “with-in” and “with-out” text, paratextual information is held to play an important role in text interpretation. It is claimed that a literary work’s interpretation is a result of the speaker/author – hearer/reader meaning negotiation which takes place in the Current Discourse Space (Langacker 2008) and involves intersubjectification, a cognitive process referred to by Langacker as “apprehension of other minds” (Langacker 2007).
