AKA Moira Hodgkinson and Jae Malone
Do you enjoy reading horror? Are vampires, ghosts, crazed serial killers e.g. Freddy Kruger or perhaps Carrie is your ‘thing’? What would be your scary location? A graveyard, a remote house in a thunderstorm? Who are your characters and why are they there? Who survives? What escalates fear? And can objects be haunted? Who are the horror heroes – Van Helsing, Sherlock Holmes?
Authors Moira Hodgkinson and Jae Malone – aka The Scare Sisters – will detail what happens to the body when frightened. They will explain how to structure characters, locations, plots, and examine which senses are activated. Plus what happens if you read or watch too much horror? Find out more in the Scare Sister’s two-hour workshop ’Horror and the Effects of Fear’.
