恐怖小說向來被視作通俗文學的範疇，較少受到學界的關注，其實在近代西方文學中，恐怖小說佔有重要的位置；在台灣，恐怖小說也有它發展的歷史，並具有特殊的社會文化意涵。本文以台灣網路作家九把刀的恐怖小說為探討對象，他的小說常出現荒謬的謀殺和暴力的場景，而人物往往充滿病態暴力的特質，揭示了現代社會的各種破壞性人格，並以血腥顫慄為惡趣。本文試圖探討這些破壞性人格的塑造，除了挑戰想像力和感官刺激的極限，背後是否具有人類生存困境的指涉，以及對現代工業文明社會的諷喻？本文主要借用佛洛姆的「破壞性人格三階段說」，來分析這些作品所隱藏的深層涵意，並思索破壞性人格的塑造與台灣的政經現狀之間，可能有怎樣的關聯性。

Horror fiction has long been viewed as one of the realms of popular literature and has rarely been the focus of academia; however, horror fiction plays an important role in modern Western literature. Also, horror fiction has its history and special social, cultural implications in Taiwan. This paper discusses the horror fictions of Internet novelist Giddens Ko. Ko's fictions are full of absurd murders and violent scenes, and the morbid violent qualities of his characters reveal the destructive personalities of modern society and their tacky interests in blood and fear. Furthermore, the paper attempts to study the creation of destructive personality and the possible implications of the dilemma of human survival and the sarcasm of modern industrial society. Fromm's theory of three stages of destructive personality is used in analyzing the implications of Ko's work. The possible connection between the creation of destructive personality and the current political and economic situations in Taiwan is also pondered in this paper.
