How do the writers of ‘Harry’ and ‘The red room’ create suspense and tension in their stories?

Have a little read: ... "How do the writers of 'Harry' and 'The red room' create suspense and tension in their stories?" In the following text I am going to explain how the writers of 'Harry' and 'The red room' create suspense and tension in their stories. The two stories differ from each other but also have similarties. The main similarity is the genre, both stories are short ghost stories. They are also quite different from each other because of the periods of time they were written in. The red room is a typical gothic style story written in 1896 by H.G. Wells. Harry, written by Rosemary Timperley in the 1950's has a modern twist to it and is rather different from the average ghost story. Firstly, I am going to give a brief summary of what the two stories are about. Harry is about a family which have an adopted daughter, Christine. Christine came from an unhappy family and was unwanted by her parents. She also had an older brother named Harry, one night Christine's father tried to kill himself and the family by turning on the gas while they were sleeping. Harry must have smelt the gas during the night so he took Christine and jumped out of the window. When they hit the ground, Harry's neck broke. He died, but little Christine survived. Christine is found and is adopted. Some years later, Harry's ghost makes contact with Christine. Christine's 'mother' begins to feel worried when Christine talks to Harry's ghost. She is told by both her husband and Christine's doctor that children have vivid imaginations and it is normal for them to have imaginary friends. Christine's mother makes a trip to the adoption agency and find out about Christine's past. Later, she realises she is late to pick up Christine from school and is told by a teacher Christine's brother came to collect her. She will never see Christine again. The red room is an average 18th century gothic style story but the outcome is susprising. The red room is based on a subterranean room in an old castle in which a young duke met his death. No one dares enter this room at night for they fear their fate will be put into the hands of darkness. But one day a young man comes to spend the night in the red room to see for himself if as they say, the room is haunted. He
