V této práci se zabývám fenoménem digitálního hororu a potenciální vznik
nové čtenářské zkušenosti. Výzkum vychází z transformačních tendencí
hororových narativů a jejich sklon přejímat určité společenské
predispozice. Integrace hororových narativů do digitálního prostředí totiž
vyústilo ve vznik nové formy hororu - creepypasta. Tento fenomén se
vyznačuje specifickým obsahem a vztahem mezi autorem a čtenářem, čímž
vede čtenáře k imerznímu prožitku. Argumentuji, že tyto texty reprezentují
kolektivní narativy, jež jsou tvarovány specifickými požadavky kladené
komunitou, současně však jsou utvářeny materiálnem, tedy prostředím, ve
kterém jsou situovány. Tyto dimenze se potom odrážejí na celkové formě
obsahu. Navíc utvářejí jedinečný hororový čtenářský prožitek pramenící ze
specifického vymezení jednotlivých aspektů, tj. již zmíněný materiální
prostor, komunitní chování a narativní prvky.

In this thesis, I investigate the phenomenon of digital horror narratives and
the potential for the novel reader's experience. It is grounded in the
transformative tendencies of horror mode and its inclination to adopt
innovative societal forces. The implementation of such horror-mode
narratives into the digital environment resulted in the emergence of a new
type of horror narrative - creepypasta. Such a horror-mode phenomenon
represents a shift in the narrative content, and the author-reader
relationship, which then pulls the readers towards a more immersive
experience. I claim that these stories represent collective narratives shaped
not only by specific community requirements but also by the material
aspects of the digital narratives. Together, these components are then
mirrored in the distinct content. Moreover, they generate the unique horror
experience that results from this specific configuration of the three aspects
of materiality, community behaviour, and narrative elements.

This thesis investigates digital horror narratives and the new potential regarding the reader’s experience. It is grounded in the transformative tendencies of horror mode and its inclination to adopt innovative societal forces. The implementation of such horror-mode narratives into the digital environment resulted in the emergence of a new type of horror narrative – creepypasta. Such a horror-mode phenomenon represents a shift in the narrative content, and the author-reader relationship, which then pulls the readers towards a more immersive experience. I claim that these stories represent collective narratives that are shaped not only by specific community requirements but also by the material aspects of the digital narratives. Together, these components are then mirrored in the distinct content. Moreover, they generate the unique horror experience that results from this specific configuration of the three aspects of materiality, community behaviour, and narrative elements.
