Writing in the Dark by Tim Waggoner

4.0

I don’t write horror stories, but as a reader of them I am always interested in what makes them work or not work for me. The blurb claims it to be a text book devoted to the craft of writing horror fiction, but it’s really a fairly laid back and loose collection of ideas and comments that flows more like a conversation. It also has part interviews with horror fiction writers responding to set questions at the end of each chapter. Not stellar, but an enjoyable bedtime read.
