Abstract

The cognitive and emotional mechanisms necessary for understanding end enjoying literary texts are inseparable from real experiences and literary reading contributes to the practice and development of these processes. This paper examines the role of the emotions evoked and portrayed by narrative and the empathy for the characters in the reception of two contemporary juvenile crime novels. Combining the genres of juvenile crime fiction, crime noir and dark fantasy, the two novels offer young readers a variety of ways to experience emotion.
