Writing In The Dark

I recommend Tim Waggoner’s book Writing In The Dark for anyone delving into horror fiction. It just came out last year and covers a lot of great information specific to the genre as well as writing in general. Here is my full review on Horror Oasis: https://horroroasis.com/writing-in-the-dark-by-tim-waggoner/

Update: At the time of my review Tim’s book was on the preliminary ballot for The Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in Non-Fiction, but he is now a Finalist for Award. He also has an article that is a finalist for The Bram Stoker for Superior Achievement in Short Non-Fiction, which was featured in November 2020 issue of The Writer, and you can read it on their website: https://www.writermag.com/improve-your-writing/fiction/beginner-horror-writer/

There’s a workbook under development for Writing In The Dark, so look for that in the future.

Tim also just published a novel with Flame Tree Press, Your Turn To Suffer. Here’s the blurb for that: “Lorelai Palumbo is harassed by a sinister group calling themselves The Cabal. They accuse her of having committed unspeakable crimes in the past, and now she must pay. The Cabal begins taking her life apart one piece at a time – her job, her health, the people she loves – and she must try to figure out what The Cabal thinks she’s done if she’s to have any hope of answering their charges and salvaging her life.”

Also: There is a 3-day writer’s symposium this weekend (March 26-28, 2021).

The link and all of the information to register for the symposium is: https://hopin.com/events/writing-in-the-dark-spring-edition?fbclid=IwAR3R0jVQIUJ11k6HWAYoxAWzk__1JPbPHgmYbW6xa-QcLRphx7pAL33kZ78
