The word "ghoul" has been employed in literature to evoke an atmosphere of eerie horror, complex morality, and even whimsical character traits. In some works, it appears as a literal, fearsome creature—grinning, spectral, and predatory in its nature as it menaces graveyards or dark woodlands [1], [2], [3]—while in others it is imbued with human qualities, exhibiting unexpected tenderness or serving as a metaphor for inner torment or vice [4], [5], [6]. Its usage spans from the supernatural and mythological—as in references linked to Arabian Nights and ancient astronomical lore [7], [8]—to a more symbolic or derogatory sense, where a ghoul may represent an outcast, a morally decaying individual, or an embodiment of dark, hidden human impulses [9], [10]. This range of applications illustrates how the ghoul functions as both a literal monster and a potent symbol of the grotesque and the uncanny in literary discourse.
