What can we as writers learn from masters of the horror genre such as Stephen King, Edgar Allan Poe, Shirley Jackson, and others? What special voices and literary techniques do these accomplished writers use to subtly create moods and situations that unnerve, fascinate, and shock readers in a pleasurable way?
In the class, students will follow the examples set by these masters while applying tried and tested Writers Studio methods. The goal is to help students bring their unique creative material to life in new and vibrant ways. All students are welcome, whether new to The Writers Studio or veterans of our classes. Experience in writing horror is not necessary, but an interest in the genre is recommended. Students can choose to write fiction, poetry, or creative nonfiction.
ONLINE WRITING LITERARY HORROR starts on Saturday, February 1st and will be taught by Philip Ivory, director of the Tucson branch of The Writers Studio. The class will be conducted online for six weeks.
