"A good story connects to the reader on both an emotional and intellectual level. In the case of horror, the emotional and intellectual level is somewhere in the dark recesses of the heart and mind." -- Elizabeth Massie


Congratulations. You have discovered the ultimate book for writers who earnestly want to improve their own abilities. Writers Workshop of Horror includes an unparalleled list of teachers, all experts in their fields of endeavor. Woodland Press assembled a dream team of writers, editors and professionals for this special project, then brought in author Michael Knost as editor. The result is nothing short of spectacular.


It focuses solely on honing the craft of writing. You won't find anything in the pages of this volume on marketing, promotions, or submission tips. That's another book for another time. What you will find is solid advice--from professionals of every publishing level--on how to improve your writing.


Although this project is centered on writing horror and/or dark fiction, the principles and advice inside this book will transcend all genres and all forms of writing. It doesn't matter if you write romance, science fiction, western, mysteries, fantasy, or memoirs, you will richly benefit from the information, ultimately improving your craft by bringing polished elements of horror, fear, anxiety, or dread to your work when needed.


Here's to creating better nightmares.


"I have to admit, in spite of my involvement, this is one of the best writing books I have ever read. It is 100% focused on the craft itself ." -- Michael Knost, editor
