What are some quick tips on how to write horror?
I've always been interested in the genre, and have read several horror novels, but I can't place my finger on what it is exactly that makes a book scary.
I know that there are several tricks of the trade that authors employ. For example, when producing a horror play (which I have done), a tip is to keep your audience "in the dark" for as long as possible. Von that, I mean do not allow the audience to get a good glimpse of the focal point of their fear. "Darkness is a powerful ally of terror. Something glimpsed in a corner is far Mehr frightening than if it's fully observed" (Stephen Mallatratt, adapter of The Woman In Black for the stage).
But these are theater tips. I know nothing about Schreiben for horror, and I'm really curious. Anyone familiar with the genre want to give me a few pointers on creepiness?
