Horror, Without the Hand-Holding
I write about horror from the other side of the classroom. Not just what scares us, but why it works.
On my Substack, I look at the mechanics behind horror: dread, anticipation, withholding, atmosphere, character, monsters, haunted spaces, and the choices writers make that keep us reading when we know we should probably stop.
Some posts are analytical and academic. Some are practical. Some are simply about the horror stories, books, and films that stay with us long after they’re over.
If you read horror, write it, teach it, study it, or just love the genre, this is a place to look a little closer.
