words to describe a scary voice
Words That Evoke the Five Senses. A tale is even scarier when readers can see, hear, touch, taste and smell things in the story. A place can exude an âacrid,â âpungentâ or âchokingâ stench. The protagonist can hear strange âclankingâ sounds, or a scary character can speak in a âdark,â âsteely,â âsepulchral,â âsibilantâ or âgutturalâ voice. Use hues such as âpitch blackâ and âebonyâ to describe things that are dark.
