CLASS 36: What Scares You?

Terror isn't just for Stephen King. Much of your story, including setting, stakes, plot, characters and more, depends to a degree on fear. And the reasons for fear are as broad and far-reaching as fiction itself. There might be a monster—human or otherwise—driving your novel. Or something even worse. Anything from a storm in the wilderness to a betrayal between star-crossed lovers can provoke dread…and keep readers turning pages. This workshop will explore the six primary sources of fright and help you learn to tap into them to make your writing the stuff of dreams. Bad dreams, that is.
