$92.00 (1 section available)

Step into the shadows and find your voice in the dark. This creative writing class is designed for both the horror-curious beginner and the seasoned "scream-writer." Over these six weeks, we will dissect the anatomy of fear, exploring a new sub-genre each session. This class combines craft discussion (pacing, atmosphere, and the psychological elements/dread, etc.), with fun interactive games and activities that bypass writer's block. So whether you want to write a quiet ghost story or a visceral creature feature, you'll leave this class with six unique drafts and a community of fellow macabre makers. Grab your flashlight and your notebook. Let's make something terrifying!
