Rayne Hall's book Writing Scary Scenes is a must for every horror or suspense writer. Hall delves deep into every facet of how to create those spine tingling, breath stealing moments in a book.Hall breaks the process down into areas such as sound, darkness, isolation, and more, then goes further into the depths of scene structure, location, how to manipulate the elements of pacing, infusing the scene with sensual details and many others guaranteed to ratchet up those thrills and chills.There is no fluff or filler in this book. It stays on target and offers the writer straight up information on the writing process and all the techniques used to write scary. It's packed full of suggestions, examples, and advice on how to keep the reader hooked to the end of every scene.This is an excellent writing craft book, not just for horror or suspense, but for any genre.
