Agreed! Have you read Emma Newman's Planetfall? Science fiction, but also about being afraid of yourself. Scary as hell. Engrossing. #horrorwriterschat

Tension, fear, and grittiness does not require sparse, harsh prose to be effective! You can have lush writing and still have tension and dread, and the like. It's all about how you build it up.
Also, horror can be effective without an outside force creating it! FEAR OF SELF!
