Horror Writing Bootcamp:
(LLWRC 862)
Horror is more than a genre, it’s a physical sensation, the place where the unknown lurks, where nothing can be assumed, and anything can happen. Explore the nuances of creating levels of fear, and effective techniques that allow your writing to create a desired reaction – fear! dread! disgust! - from your readers. This intensive two week course of lecture presentation and workshop will give you an opportunity to write and present your work for critique and discussion (which isn’t as scary as it sounds!)

Oct. 1th – Nov. 1st 2025
10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.540 Arapeen Drive (Research Park)
