I like to look at different aspects of an issue and try to write it into my stories. Such as I have an idea for a book that involves the darker side of a person who is scared to leave their home. This is a phobia, agoraphobia, which can be interesting to use in writing. It may not be widely used, but any phobia can be interesting in bringing into a story. It can create a different level within the book that allows a character to either already have fear and see what happens and how what happens affects the person. Or the writer can use the fear as a consequence of what has happened to the person. I find that a writer needs to use every tool accessible to them in order to make weird and interesting stories. As a writer of the weird and darker nature of humanity, I like to use different things to bring out the characters in a way the encourages more fear or weirdness within my book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What do you use to create the darkness within your book?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"341\" src=\"https:\/\/xavier-black.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/door-1587023_640.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"324\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/xavier-black.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/door-1587023_640.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/xavier-black.com\/?attachment_id=324\" class=\"wp-image-324\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xavier-black.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/door-1587023_640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/xavier-black.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/door-1587023_640-300x160.jpg 300w, https:\/\/xavier-black.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/door-1587023_640-210x112.jpg 210w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am not just a writer of horror but also for psychological thrillers and horrors anything dark or weird.
