All right, so you want to write a horror? Horror is one of the many topics that are pushed out of line, but will that stop you from writing one? No. Anyways, this will teach you the many ways and techniques of writing a horror story.
First, let’s get down to the basics.
-You always want to start writing a story on Microsoft. That is highly suggested due to the fact that it tells you how to spell words you don’t know etc etc etc.
-When you write, DO NOT use L33t, do not write like, “u r scry” and please, for the sake of our eyes, don’t use caps.
Anyways, onward with this.
Now, when you want to write a horror story, you’ll need to think of something that will be *The Horror”. It can be a monster, a killer, a ghost, anything that brings fear to people. But, you can’t just throw them in there and say, “Oh look a monster what do we do!?” you need a back round behind all of this. So let’s get started, shall we.
Horrors
The horror of the story is vital and extremely needed. Without this, then the story has no horror at all. Now, you must first pick what your horror will be. So let’s say you choose a vampire. Now what you must decide is how you will introduce the back round of the vampire and introduce the vampire itself. An example could start out with a simple farmer in the prologue at night. While he was sleeping, the farmer hears one of his cows, chickens, etc squeal or whatever they do. He runs out there and finds one of his horses brutally slaughtered. So now you have the reader interested (if you wrote it well). Now it’s time to introduce your horror!
Have the vampire attack farmer in some dramatic scene. Add suspense, detail, and emotions in this scene.
And then later, your main characters will role in. These are the people who are usually trying to stop or kill the horror, but some of them may get killed. Now that you have your horror introduced, you must now make his back round.
