Scary isn't all about horror. Sometime scary is worrying that the character is in danger. To worry about the character, we have to be invested in that character's fate. Many horror authors get so caught up in creating gore and guts, they forget about the characters and the plot. I just read one such book. It was simply a bunch of scenes stuck together to create an expectation of a book. To me, it failed miserably. It lacked a plot; I cared nothing for the characters (and forgot who they were half the time), and tired quickly of the needless gore. I'm all for murders, gore and violence. But I need reason. It sounds as if you have your act together. That can create fright just as soundly as the most profound horror novel.

When I write scary I try to think about normal people being thrust into possible situations that we hope we never find ourselves in but can all relate to.Tony Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15469215279229773800noreply@blogger.com
