Presented by Douglas Wynne (Workshop)

Saturday October 27, 2018, 1-4pm

In horror fiction, it’s the writer’s ability to craft suspense that keeps us turning the pages. But what exactly triggers a feeling of dread in life and entertainment? In this three-hour writing workshop, horror author Douglas Wynne examines strategies for crafting suspenseful scenes using sensory cues, character physiology, foreshadowing, and other literary devices. What to bring: a notebook and pen, laptop, or your preferred tools for writing and note-taking.

Douglas Wynne is the author of five novels: The Devil of Echo Lake, Steel Breeze, and the SPECTRA Files trilogy (Red Equinox, Black January, and Cthulhu Blues). His short fiction has appeared in numerous popular anthologies, and his Sense of Dread writing workshop was recently featured at StokerCon 2018 and the Kirk Hammett It’s Alive exhibit at the Peabody Essex Museum. He lives in Massachusetts with his wife and son and a houseful of animals.
