Writing in the Dark by Tim Waggoner

informative medium-paced

5.0

If you want to write horror or if you are already writing horror and need tips, this is the book for you. I initially bought it when I was working a YA horror story. I’ve moved on from wanting to write horror, but this book is a great resource to writing dark and gritty narratives as well, narratives that aren’t necessarily pure horror. It’s one of the best “how to” books I’ve read on craft and a great exploration of the horror genre. 

Plus, Tim Waggoner takes times to mention important things to consider such a writing 3-dimensional female characters and not being a transphobic asshole.
