Tato diplomová práce si klade za cíl analyzovat výběr dětské literatury 21. století psané v angličtině pěti různými autory - Abarat Clivea Barkera, Řadu nešťastných příhod Daniela Handlera, Kroniku rodu Spiderwicků Holly Blackové, Koralinu spolu s Knihou hřbitova Neila Gaimana a Nespoutaný chaos Patricka Nesse. Zaměřuje se na významné hororové motivy v zkoumaných dílech a jejich vztah ke třem tabuizovaným kategoriím - Smrti a násilí, rodině a přátelům, pohlaví a genderu. Vývoj těchto kategorií v rámci literární historie bude postaven do perspektivy a zkoumán pro současné trendy v hororové literature pro dětského čtenáře. Cílem práce je pak prokázat spojení mezi zmíněnými tabu a zkoumanými hororovými motivy, kategorizovat je a analyzovat jejich projevy v dětské literatuře 21. století.

This master's thesis aims to analyse a selection of 21st century children's literature written in English by five different authors - Clive Barker's The Books of Abarat, Daniel Handler's A Series of Unfortunate Events, Holly Black's The Spiderwick Chronicles, Neil Gaiman's Coraline together with The Graveyard Book and Patrick Ness's Chaos Walking. It focuses on significant horror motifs in the examined works and their relation to three categories of foundational taboos - Death and violence, family and friends, sex and gender. Development of these categories in literary history will be put into perspective and inspected for current trends in children's horror. The thesis sets out to prove a connection between the three taboos and examined horror motifs, categorize them and analyse their manifestations in children's literature of the 21st century.
