SO YOU WANT TO WRITE A HORROR STORY. . .

Are you an aspiring horror writer? Do you write horror stories? Author Alex Davis shares some basic tips on writing horror fiction in the November issue of WRITING MAGAZINE. He tells of the importance of the "build", atmosphere, the "reveal", and my favorite, don't be a hostage to the happy ending. Short on depth, but enough to give you the idea, these tips will help you jump start your story or make one you have written a little better.

And, don't forget to visit MMW later today, when I'll be posting the first installment of the first issue of Robert A. Lowndes' mini-magazine masterpieces, MAGAZINE OF HORROR, where you can read how the masters like Ambrose Bierce, Robert W. Chambers, Frank Belknap Long and H.G. Wells did it.
