Entertain and Unnerve Your Readers
Writing Literary Horror
May 10, 2025 10:00 am
The "L" Offices River & Campbell
Saturday, May 10th we'll meet live--and via Zoom--and hear from the director of The Writers Studio here in Tucson about writing horror.
Philip Ivory will examine methods by which carefully honed narrative voices — persona narrators as they are called in The Writers Studio — can elevate dark material to entertain and unnerve readers. Literary horror can traffic in the supernatural or in gritty real-world terrors and can arise from an external force (Dracula) or the human psyche (The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde).
