Tim Waggoner returns for a brand new live workshop at the final Writing in the Dark 2021 weekend!
Join us on Saturday, October 30, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. for SUPERCHARGE YOUR HORROR.
Learn how to take your horror to the next level! Topics include:
- What lies at the core of the best horror stories.
- The difference between dread, terror, horror, disgust, and shock – and how to use them.
- The horror equivalent of the hero’s journey.
- How to avoid clichés in horror.
- How to make your horror personal.
- How to build a better monster.
- How to take new approaches to old horror archetypes.
- How the psychical and psychological effects of fear impact your characters.
- What, if any, limits there are in horror fiction.
- How much – or how little – you should you reveal in a horror story.
- How to use the techniques of suspense to build horror.
Writing in the Dark 2021 Part 4 runs from 12 p.m. October 29th to October 31st at 11:55 p.m. With over 48 hours of pre-recorded and live content, this symposium offers guidance and tools for authors and publishers of horror, thrillers, and dark fantasy.
