Why do some of us like to read horror stories? And how does a writer put the scare factor into a story? I'll talk about my craft and the tools horror writers use to evoke the fear, terror and suspense that define the genre. From Mary Shelley to Stephen King the students will learn about its history, its themes and how they can create their own tale that will have the reader on the edge of their seat wondering what’s hiding in the shadows. I will also touch upon the writing process, and the routes to publication.
