On Writing Horror
Publisher: F+W Media

"On Writing Horror" is an excellent book for aspiring horror writers and/or those curious about the "horrific" world of writing and publishing horror. The publishing industry has changed quite a bit through the years and horror has always filled a peculiar niche which shares a lot of overlap with other genres. Elements of horror are found throughout literature making this the kind of book that any writer could benefit from reading.

Piece by piece this book examines the state of the industry, advice and tips on writing horror and how to go about getting published in a genre which runs the length and breadth of literature. Each topic is well organized, explored and suitably inspires those with interest in the genre. I found a great deal of the advice to be helpful to me as a writer in general and especially as an explorer of horror.

Although I enjoyed this book I would have got more from it had I been better versed in the genere. It is a very comrehensive guide to understanding and writing HORROR Fiction. It is VERY well laid out, with an excellent 'literature review'. The tips on writing style are thoughtful and have worked in my re-writes. The finsl chapters are on publishing, as I write for pleasure these were of little interest. Saying that they were logical, well laid out and were informative, to a non-interested person. Overall well worth the money, even more so if you are well versed in the topic.
