Descripción: The analysis of Euphrase Kezilahabi's horror short story Mayai – Waziri wa Maradhi ("Mayai –Minister of Disease) can to a great extent shed light on its author's opinions on Tanzanian politics and how he expresses them in his literary work. A large part of the political content of this text cannot be appreciated without considering the element of horror per se, as a feature that is not only stylistic. This paper aims to analyze such work as an example of the horror story genre, employing specific tools of interpretation which can enlighten the way in which the uncanny dimension affects and generates content. Although there are numerous allegories in Kezilahabi's short story, my critique also aims to show how such literary elements can be analyzed and explained by looking at them per se, instead of reading them only as symbols of the external elements they receive their sense from, as it is the case for allegory.
