HEY. You. Horror-writing-in-training!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Courtesy of Tananarive Due (the \u201cQueen of Black Horror\u201d and author of the truly vital The Reformatory<\/strong>) and Steven Barnes, I’m giving away two scholarships to Dark Dreams: Writing Horror That Kills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(You can learn more about the course here: www.fearmasters.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a 3-hour intensive on how to craft haunting horror fiction. How to write horror that lets characters take the lead? What’s the plot framework look like? How the heck do they<\/em> do it, and how do you<\/em> do it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(This class will be live both on Zoom and in person in Southern California.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Way to be a potential winner —<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drop in the comments below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just tell me two things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a) What’s your favorite horror novel from the last ten years?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

b) What are you reading right now (doesn’t have to be horror!)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do this by Thursday, noon EST, and I’ll approve all comments and pick two random winners from the commenters to receive those scholarships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easy-peasy, blood-a-squeezy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just make sure that your account here is using an email address someone can use to reach you; otherwise, you won’t know that you won!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get it? Got it? Rock on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
