What makes a horror novel? The word horror means something painful that is caused by a frightful shock, something terrifying and revolting. But how does this apply in writing? I like to think I write in many ways horror, but horror is different per person. We all see the horror in different ways because we all are different from what shocks us. This applies to my writing because I have to look at how to project horror in different ways. Take my first book, it is more a psychological horror because it plays around with mind control. As for my techno killer book is plain and simple blood horror. I also have written novels on more a paranormal horror. These are all different ways to project horror in writing, each with its own level of horror and different perspective of what is horror.
