review 1: Quick review for a quick read. To be honest, I was a bit underwhelmed by this compilation of writing advice in the horror genre, because while it has many great contributors and aspects of writing to consider, it's still very limited and for a limited audience who can get the fruit of its overarching points. Probably designed more in mind for the beginning writer who is not only looking for genre definition, but also writing definitions.I will say that the information from all the articles given within this set is well organized, concise, and to the point for a quick pick me up. I only wish it'd been a little more detailed in some sections. Maybe the it would be more of a deep POV to take for writers beyond the beginning. It's inspiring to be certain, and one that I fo... moreund worth reading despite its flaws.Overall score 3/5 stars
review 2: For new authors settling into writing, this book is worth reading slowly and carefully because the advice is excellent. And since there are so many authors, different chapters will appeal to different people.For those more established, it may seem tedious since the advice is obvious—keep the middle of your story tense, make sure we care about your characters. Still, something I learned from martial arts is no matter how advanced you are, sometime you have to return to the basics & fundamentals.After one reading, my copy is dogeared and underlined. I can see myself returning to it again and again in years to come. less
