Never let me go7/4/2023 Never Let Me Go is a story that peels back its own layers to reveal a truly stunning and grotesque storyline. It’s horror for the heart and the mind and leaves audiences with deep dogmatic questions relating to their existence. While Never Let Me Go isn’t widely considered a part of the horror canon, its chilling premise, and existential dread imbues the reader with heartbreaking anxiety. Award-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro employs existentialist rhetoric in his landmark dystopian sci-fi novel Never Let Me Go in a chilling way that leaves the reader both intrigued and thoroughly horrified. Horror can be considered a hallmark of genres outside itself because there is often a fear of the unknown, violence, bloodshed, and difficult situations. Dystopian and science fiction media love to employ existentialism after all. It’s a concept of horror that can easily be worked into other genres as well to create an affecting blend of genres. Modern readers and audiences often misunderstand and eschew the sheer gravity and capacity for the terror that existential horror brings to the table.
