Of all the genres, horror is the only one that is also an emotion—you can feel horror. It is a genre that creeps-out, grosses-out, and psyches-out, but true lovers will keep coming back for more. Whether you’re writing in the vein of Edgar Allan Poe, Anne Rice, Stephen King, Stephen Graham Jones, Alma Katsu, or Hailey Piper, this course will help improve your craft. With weekly meetings, including readings and swapping work, this class will equip you with a horror tool-belt and connect you with fellow writers.

This class is suitable for writers of all levels.

Darian Bianco is a writer and teacher out of Richmond, Kentucky, teaching Creative Writing at Eastern Kentucky University, Reach Your Apex, and the Carnegie Center and a graduate of the Carnegie Center’s Author Academy.
