I love writing horror stories. I have noticed that the more I write, the more tips I pick up. These include using the uncanny valley, making the monster into a metaphor, and juxtaposing the horror with lighter imagery. My most helpful tip is that practice makes perfect.
My fascination for horror stories started when I was about 12 years old. I was afraid of the dark as a small child, and I had a very vivid imagination, but something happened around that age and I decided to embrace the feeling of fear. I began reading Stephen King and took it from there. Whan I was around 15 or so, I started writing my own horror stories which were greatly appreciated among my friends.
I have now decided to start this blog where I will center around horror literature. I will post my own short stories as well as reviews of published works. I hope there are more horror fans out there that will enjoy my writings.
