review 1: This is a great guide for writing that believable scary scene. Rayne Hall first describes human reactions to fear, shock, horror, panic and so on, a great guide alone. Then Rayne discusses instant hooks, dark and dangerous, sounds, suspense and much more, writing 'tricks' I like to call them. Actually it is a skill Rayne has put together in this easy to read guide for authors new and old to keep on hand. I recommend this book to all paranormal, supernatural, mystery and suspense writers.
review 2: Writing Scary Scenes is another excellent offering from author, teacher, and master craftswoman Rayne Hall. Recommended for writers of many genres (romance, mystery, suspense, horror), this concise reference book covers every possible aspect for creating skin crawling... more, heart racing moments in your story. Numerous examples are included to spark the writer’s imagination. Rayne also supplies an extensive list of euphonics - words for every mood or situation (fear, apprehension, fights, foreboding, etc.), useful when editing weak words from your manuscript. Last but not least, Rayne offers up three of her own short stories, all great reads, and shining examples of her techniques at work. This reference is a must-have addition to the writer’s craft library. Also recommended: Rayne’s Writing Fight Scenes. less
