Another one, because why not! You can have extreme/graphic depictions in your horror story without it being immediately designated Splatterpunk/Extreme Horror! You can have characters do awful unspeakable things without it being designated Splatterpunk/Extreme Horror! #HorrorWritersChat

Does it NEED it? Absolutely not. A story is a story, and a well-written one can stand on its own with or without a lesson. That being said, most humans will pick up themes that resonate with them regardless, ESPECIALLY in a genre that explicitly reflects their fears. #HorrorWritersChat

Horror writers do this to themselves on the nightly! ...because we're up all night writing...

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! #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat Q3! It truly depends. Some horrors need to be built on, and the sense of being overwhelmed the more you learn can be a truly delightful scare; other times, it's the lack of knowledge that will keep you in the most suspense. Either way, it's important to control information flow.

This balancing act is a difficult one. I personally prefer to drip-feed backstory to the reader, giving just enough to whet the appetite, but excluding the right amount to make one wonder. Nothing screams 'Fear' like the unknown, especially of a character you've learned to trust. #HorrorWritersChat

I don't believe horror needs to teach a moral lesson to be effective. It should instead use fear to inspire introspection and dark wonderment, to question the self. What are we in relation to the many parts that make us up? Good parts, bad parts, or the parts we aren't aware of. #HorrorWritersChat

Trent is twenty-two years old and has yet to truly start living. Up to now, he's had a half-life governed by the fear he has of himself, constantly afraid of what he might do to others. He keeps his mind dull and empty to forget, until a stranger comes along and changes everything. #RevPitWaiting
