All Things Writing

What is horror? What are the sub genres?

Back to horror. Horror, at least the term horror, really is an umbrella. It covers a lot of different things from the stories which make you want to close the cover of the book and put it down to the stories that cause you to sniggle wildly at something that should not be funny, but is. Like a plant, shooting its head off. That to me is impossibly hilarious. Now the implications of the story are essentially that planet earth is doomed as an alien plant is about to take over the world, but still, a plant shooting itself is hilarious.

In this episode we talk about the following examples
