Horror Writing For Beginners
Do you like scary stories? In this two-hour class, award-winning author and lifelong horror fan Nino Cipri (Dead Girls Don't Dream) will guide students through the process of writing a short horror story, finding inspiration in creepypasta, folklore, and favorite tropes. Along the way, we'll explore what the horror genre is, why we love it, and what it offers in a time when real-life horrors are competing for our attention.
Here's how it'll go:
Introduction to the horror genre
Talk through horror history, tropes, and literary devices
Write some horror snippets based on short prompts
Share your favorite snippets with the group, if you're feeling particularly brave
This class is welcome to writers of all levels and experience. Come prepared to write, talk, and hopefully have fun.
