In this workshop, Bram Stoker Award-winning author Michael Arnzen takes you on a tour of the "five senses of dread" -- exploring how fear operates on your nerve endings, from the tips of your fingers all the way up to your brain. Learn how words work to paint haunting portraits of fear and generate anxiety, and how characters express their darkest fears from a whisper to a scream. Recommended for poets as well as full-length novel writers, this course will zoom in on what makes horror tick at the level of language.

This is a separately ticketed workshop.  For more information on Horror University and registration information see: https://www.stokercon.com/horror-university
