In this workshop, you'll learn how to write pulse-pounding horror short stories.

Some of the topics covered are:
  • Creating chilling story ideas that hook readers
  • Developing protagonists that people care about, and antagonists that give them the creeps
  • Cultivating an atmosphere of fear and anxiety
  • Making your story unique: Avoiding horror clichés
  • All about monsters, supernatural beings, weird objects, and other ingredients of modern horror stories
  • Building tension and suspense to keep readers glued to the page
  • Using unreliable narrators, red-herrings, and plot twists to enhance your tale
  • Tricks and techniques from top horror writers like Stephen King and R.L. Stein
  • Markets for your horror short stories
  • And much more!
Horror is a popular genre that is great fun to write. If you enjoy scaring your readers, then join me for my course, "Writing the Horror Short Story."
Class Format
