The imagination is a powerful thing, and we can dream up images and events much more horrific than words can depict. That's the fun!Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03275503653927579472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-497164028438533435.post-8228426727537910652011-03-19T13:45:47.936-05:002011-03-19T13:45:47.936-05:00Teeth marks!

The Psycho shower scene began that goal for me in my stories. Hint at it, but don't show too much. Let the reader's imagination take hold. I'm not sure why, but I do believe that our imaginations can conjure up far worse horror than anything reality can display. Our minds prey upon themselves for some reason and feed that fear fire. Maybe it's a self-defense thing, I don't know. But I love a great scare and I do so enjoy sharing one!Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03275503653927579472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-497164028438533435.post-81398708151621357912011-03-19T01:25:32.892-05:002011-03-19T01:25:32.892-05:00Like old time radio, the unseen monster paints a m...Like old time radio, the unseen monster paints a much more chilling image in the mind than a depicted one. Other words an ice cold brush of fingers on your neck in the dark is a lot more scary than a wart hog trying to rip your throat out. That's how your story scared me as much as listening to Inner Sanctum, or I Love A Mystery in my bedroom with no one home, in the dark.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-497164028438533435.post-56259219447314537132011-03-18T11:43:48.995-05:002011-03-18T11:43:48.995-05:00Beach, I'm glad you enjoyed my creepy little t...Beach, I'm glad you enjoyed my creepy little tale.
