Chapter 40 - Writing Horror with Sara Tantlinger

Literary Blend: A Publishing Podcast

Oct 20 2024 • 31 mins

Happy spooky season! There’s no better time of year to spotlight the horror genre. I’m delighted to share my conversation with Bram Stoker Award-winning author Sara Tantlinger on writing horror for chapter forty of the show. We covered the diversity of the horror genre, tips for capturing the emotion of dread, crafting compelling protagonists and villains, establishing a horror setting and atmosphere, common pitfalls of the genre, and much more. I loved chatting with Sara, so I hope our conversation inspires you to write a horror story of your own.
