Degrees of Horror and Terror in Fiction • Horror Writing Workshop

This was a presentation for a local writer’s circle on horror subgenres. Being a writer or a reader of fiction we see the focus of a work does not always link to how ‘scary’ it is. Taking some popular methods of defining horror, I express them as degrees of horror and show how most horror subgenres are linked to a measure of how terrifying they can be.

Explore some other methods of defining horror in media from the very broad to the narrow and find some ideas on where to market, learn, network, or perhaps find your next book to read.
