Writing Scary Stories: A Short Story Primer on Horror
Do you like scary stories? Having trouble writing them? This four-week class will make sure you have the basics of short story telling down, and then show you how to use that pairing between terror and horror to immerse your readers in atmosphere, mood, tone, setting, and depth. It will also help you to understand the genre in greater detail—what’s selling now, the various subgenres, and how hybrid fiction can open up a wider range of markets for you. From an author, editor, teacher, and publisher who has been a Bram Stoker (twice) and Shirley Jackson finalist, this isn’t just theory, it’s execution, experience, and passion.
