I know it's pretty scummy of me to not even try reviewing some content to figure out how to write this blog but I'm dealing with newbies to writing like Nimu here. Even if Nimu DID request this, I'm going to keep this simple and easy to understand.

Why would I do that? Well, I'm pretty sure that even if I bring up tropes like the 'Uncanny Valley', no one will actually understand what I'm talking about and would only nod their heads like chickens because I said some big words or something like that...

That's why I'm choosing to keep this real. Now, let's start off with: How do does horror be 'scary'?

In movies, showing images that either poke at our emotions of unease or disgust is one way to go, or just throw a bunch of jump scares and call it a horror movie... Director's choice. Similarly, you are also the 'director' of any 'horror story' you choose to write.

Most horror writers have the wrong assumption when they think about writing 'horror'. They become trapped in unease themselves because 'fear' stops them from writing. Well, if you really DO feel that way, then just channel that into your horror story.

And no, I'm not playing with ya.

There's a reason horror's start off in a simple premise with easy-to-understand people, after all.

Have you never experienced a horrifying event or nightmare before? Fine, I'll give you an example.

There was a time when I was a kid that I suddenly started looking for my older brother who went out of the room that afternoon. As a kid, darkness made me feel uneasy, so I didn't like the feeling of going into the kitchen in the other room which was pitch-black at the time. And that's when it happened!

The older brother I was looking for jumped out of the darkness and scared the life out of me...

Now, from that short memory. What have we found that made this memory so impressionable?

The answer is that there was a 'sudden set-up' of unease before the jump scare, making it scary.

If my brother had jumped in front of me at any other time, I would only be mildly surprised. However, the transition between 'set-up' and 'payoff' made it more worthwhile. This is what you must remember.

Remember, before setting up a scary scene in a horror story, you yourself must first evaluate how much 'set-up' you are willing to make for the end payoff and if that payoff is even worth it.

The reason I got scared by my brother was because of the 'suddenness' of the event. If I had time to properly analyse the situation and realise that my brother was playing a prank, the effect of him jumping out of the darkness wouldn't surprise me.

Likewise, if there was fast or literally no set-up and the payoff was that an brain-like alien actually existed in my kitchen. I would be scared, I would be struck dumb because my suspension of disbelief would be broken. I wouldn't even know how to internalise that event if it actually happened. The only thing I would do is stare at the thing blankly.

Blankness is not fear, it's just your brain not being able to comprehend what you're seeing.

If there is less set-up to big events, the payoff would be low. This is the same for ten chapters of set-up just to reveal someone doing a prank. You yourself must balance 'set-up' with the intended 'payoff'.

However, that's not to say scary story's need surprising moments where something or someone jumps out from the dark. Even that show called 'Goosebumps' knew the best way to scare someone is to manipulate the emotions of a reader.

When something good is happening but there is subtly a small scene of watching the main character through the window, the reader's heart is gripped tightly. If THEY don't want anything to happen to your relatable and kind character, then they will feel unease even if your character is clueless.

Then when the payoff happens, the reader will be assaulted with a sense of grief and sympathy.

Horror story's are just like that. They aren't meant to scare the reader through flashing images or jump scares but cause them to feel deeply. Though this is also a reason horrors are rarely read by people who are looking for something lighthearted and bright.

You must know this target audience and prepare your story well to become a good horror. If mixed with mystery, then you must also make sure to keep what I said in my 'Mystery Genre Analysis' in mind as everything there is also essential in this blend.

(My other Analysis Blogs are in my Saved Posts.)

There are plenty of ways to make horrors not need mysteries by blending it with tragedy. However, it isn't something you can write with a bright heart free of ill-will towards others. After all, you must understand what makes people 'uneasy and disgusted' with something whenever you write something of this genre. As it is needed to bring out the best experience for those reading your work.

Some think Horror and Tragedy are two sides of the same coin. However, there is a reason these two are split up into separate genres. Tragedies might invoke sympathy in those who read it, but Horror strike the readers with true fears even if they are irrational.

Ghost stories make us fear the Supernatural, Stories about technology progressing beyond humans can control makes us fear Science Fiction, and even story about a mystical world which only curse its inhabitants with grief make us fear Fantasy.

We are rational creatures after all. We take each step carefully and are always uneasy about the unpredictable future, that is our mundane form of horror. We fear, and therefore we feel alive.

(Cover by Darkstar Dust)

This is a story I worked on ages ago that has been refined and edited by adding foreshadowing to events while also simplifying the power system better than before. This story can be considered a prequel to An Adventure Beyond Greatness as it takes place years prior to the events of that story.

Short Synopsis:
After retiring from the battlefield, my life became empty and lifeless. The regrets of my past haunt me in my sleep. Then a change occurred, a King from another world summoned me to fight for his kingdom, but I died even before I could give him my answer. Now, after a fake God allowed me to reincarnate (albeit imperfectly) with my memories intact, into a world filled with magic and swords.

Long Synopsis:
This is about a flawed protagonist who only knew to rely on others and not socialise who gets a second chance to change himself in order to live the life he aimed for in his past life. The narrator isn’t exactly trustworthy since it is purely in his bias perspective while other perspectives given by others fill in the blanks that he either leaves out or twists to suit the situation.

The story itself can be considered a parody of Isekai’s classic tropes which are given a sense of reality as time goes by. As there exists no ‘Demon Lord’, there is also no black and white, only characters opinions and counter-opinions throughout the story.

You and Harry were cuddling on the couch. It was around 10 p.m and you were really scared cause you both just finished watching "IT". You couldn't forget that scary look of 'IT' (it's the name of the ghost in that flim). You buried you head deeper into Harry's chest everytime you think of that character. Harry noticed it and chuckled slightly. Harry already knew that you are scared of stuff like that.

"Y/N", Harry said quietly but enough for you to hear. "I have a story to tell you" he said and you nodded your head in an approval for him to continue. 

"You sure? Cause it's a hooorror story, I don't think you are strong enough to hear it" he said slightly teasing and to be honest you didn't want to hear the story but you didn't wanted to look weak in front of him too. "I guess I am strong enough...so tell me your "Horror Story" you said air quoting 'Horror story' as if you weren't scared at all but....yeah you know(*_*)

Harry started, "Okay so it was a strange dark lonely street of London. It was around midnight and there was a homeless man looking for help..he knocked at a door seeking for help, he begged to the owner of the house to let him stay for the night, 'Can I please stay at your house for a night? I'm homeless' said the man. 
'Okay you can sleep in my daughter's bed with her for the night but promise me not to hold or talk to her no matter what' said the owner".

*You gulped hard* 

Harry then continued, "Then the man did as told and slept in her daughter's bed with her without saying a word to her". 
'Hold me please', said the daughter. 'I can't I'm sorry I have promised your dad'. 

'Please hold me I'm so cold' the daughter pleaded. The man couldn't resist her voice and decided to hold her.

Harry ended the story then looking into your eyes trying to seek your reaction on it. I mean you were scared a bit but that story wasn't "Horror" at all. "So?" You said.."What was SO scary in that Harry" you said chuckling a bit.

"THE NEXT MORNING" Harry suddenly shouted making squeal. You then realised that the story wasn't just over yet. "So, the next morning" Harry spoke again, "the man said sorry to the owner of that house cause you know he broke his promise. The man said, 'I'm sorry I had to hold your daughter but she was really very cold to be honest'.
The man got confused for a second cause the owner didn't looked angry at all but then the owner coldly said "Yeah I know she's dead for two days". 

Harry finished his story and you got really scared and hide into his arms for him to protect you.
"Don't worry babe I'll protect you and I hope you aren't dead just yet" he said chuckling and you playfully hit his arm. "Ouch". "I'm not dumbo wbu?" You said chuckling. 
Harry suddenly got pale and with cold eyes he said, "Well, you never know" ;)
