This case study represents an analysis of horror fiction translations exemplified by three short stories written by Clive Barker – “The Book of Blood”, “The Midnight Meat Train” and “Dread”. The aim of this paper is to discuss the most important aspects of literary translation based on the examples from my translations of horror fiction. The case study includes a brief introduction to the horror genre in literature, which focuses on the most relevant aspects of horror fiction in relation to the three stories analyzed within this paper. The second part of the case study contains an analysis of my translations of the three above-mentioned stories. The translation analysis is problem-oriented and it discusses the most important issues related to both the translation of literature in general and specific problems that occurred in the process of translating the three short stories. The first part of the analysis is related to general problems of literary translation arising from syntactic, grammatical and semantic incompatibility of source and target languages. These are analyzed in terms of different theoretical approaches, methods and strategies that are usually applied in the translation process and illustrated by examples from the short stories. The second part of the translation analysis focuses on specific translation problems from the three short stories and the examples included in this section reflect my approach and reasoning behind the solutions to certain problems of literary translation. Finally, the complete translations of the above-mentioned stories are included in this paper as appendices.
