We instinctively view children as innocent, vulnerable, and deserving of protection. Horror becomes especially disturbing when that perception collapses; this workshop explores how writers can create unsettling children in horror fiction by disrupting the psychology of innocence. Drawing on examples from literature and film, the class examines how distorted morality, emotional detachment, manipulation, and supernatural influence can transform child characters into powerful engines of horror.
This is a separately ticketed workshop. For more information on Horror University and registration information see: https://www.stokercon.com/horror-university
