We will discuss what scares us and investigate the psychology &nbsp;of fear within the context of fiction, digging into the nuts-and-bolts processes of generating fear &nbsp;in the reader. We will explore the wide range of horror&rsquo;s sub-genres and aesthetic possibilities, &nbsp;looking at tropes, traditions, and metaphors as opportunities for creative openings rather than &nbsp;restrictions. We will discuss the importance of atmosphere, point-of-view, and convincing &nbsp;characterization. Drawing on insights and fiction by some of horror literature&rsquo;s most important &nbsp;and exciting figures, we will dive into the genre with a focus on craft and technique. &nbsp;- Mike Thorn <span fr-original-style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; box-sizing: inherit;">Refund Policy: Any registrant who cancels their registration 10 or fewer days prior to the start date of the class/workshop will forfeit a $40 cancellation fee.
