About the Course
Fear is one of storytelling’s most powerful emotions — but writing it effectively takes more than jump scares. In this three-hour workshop, you’ll learn how to build psychological tension, atmosphere, and dread that keeps readers or viewers gripped from start to finish.
You’ll explore how to tap into primal fears, create suspenseful pacing, and use language, silence, and subtext to unsettle your audience. Through practical exercises and examples from classic and contemporary horror, we’ll look at how to write scenes that disturb, haunt, and linger long after the story ends.
Whether you’re writing gothic fiction, psychological thrillers, or cinematic horror, this workshop will give you the tools to make your audience feel every heartbeat.
