how to write creepy stories

over describe things

under describe things

short sentences in rapid succession build tension

single sentence paragraphs build dread

uncanny valley = things that aren't normal almost getting it right

third person limited view

limited expressions

rot, mold, damage, age, static, flickering, espsecially in places it shouldn't be

limited sights for your mc - blindness, darkness, fog

being alone - the more people there are, the less scary it is

intimate knowledge, but only on one side

your reader's imagination will scare them more than anything you could ever write. you don't have to offer a perfectly concrete explanation for everything at the end. in fact, doing so may detract from your story.

Writing Prompt #292

A stormy sea and a sturdy ship were all I had dreamed of for years, yearning for the freedom to sail and steal whatever and whenever I pleased. Little did I know, piracy was far different than I had ever anticipated.

Writing Prompt #323

Not every power was flashy or exciting. Some of them were more useful than others, and mine was probably the most subtle and useless of them all. While some people were able to teleport or shapeshift, I was able to sense the nearest kitchen.

Writing Prompt #2675

He hated that it wasn't worth it. After everything he sacrificed, and told himself that it would be in the end, it simply wasn't true. Everything he stood for was a lie, and everyone he hurt in the process was for nothing.

Text: I sell mortality of all sorts to those who come seeking it. Often they want just enough to appear human, to bleed, or cry. Some want to meet with death for business, and need to die to do it.

It’s funny how the city reflects your mood, or maybe it’s the reverse.

Hero and Villain

(This might be a hard one, or maybe it won’t I’m not sure)

Try writing a scene from the perspective from either the villain or the hero, but don’t write which one your doing. Try making it so that you can’t find out right away which one your writing about, make it obscure. Maybe add hints in the scene.

prompt 1487

Maybe there aren’t any such things as good friends or bad friends - maybe there are just friends, people who stand by you when you’re hurt and who help you feel not so lonely. Maybe they’re always worth being scared for, and hoping for, and living for. Maybe worth dying for too, if that’s what has to be. No good friends. No bad friends. Only people you want, need to be with; people who build their houses in your heart.                                                                   ― Stephen King, It

when a powerful figure is reduced to kneeling. when the lord is forced to bow. when the exile stumbles into an unwelcoming bar. when the “beast” is chained by their horns. when a god is dragged behind their enemy’s chariot, a captive and trophy. when the loyal “guard dog” character is muzzled and the silver-tongued thief falls silent in horror.

that’s the shit

it’s about the contrapasso. the reversal of roles and the sudden, plunging terror of being unable to hide.
