Multi-Billion Dollar Industry-Horror Writing for Profit
By Sandra Lee | December 23, 2008
Why is horror still a multi-billion dollar industry that entertains and attracts record numbers of followers year in, year out? Savvy writers know that there’s a fortune to be made in thrilling their readers with everything from monster stories, ghost stories, psychological suspense and good old fashioned gore.
Now it’s your chance to cash in on this most lucrative of genres. Whether your area of preference is Short Stories, Novels, Film and or TV, there is an ever hungry need for thrillers and dramas using supernatural themes and settings.
Now, don’t go thinking in cliches. Horror is not just Slasher movies and Stephen King. Horror and Dark Fantasy Fiction also encompasses the likes of Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, the Matrix series, and TV shows like Medium, Charmed, Buffy and The Ghost Whisperer.
Of course there are the classics to aspire to. Edgar Allen Poe, Lovecraft, MR James, and more modern writers like Peter Straub, Clive Barker, Graham Masterton, James Herbert. Stephen King himself also describes Thomas Harris (Silence of the Lambs), James Patterson and Patricia Cornwell as closet horror writers too!
All of the above writers know, and have profited from, the notion that scaring the pants off your reader not only makes you successful, it keeps readers coming back for more!
Good horror is sophisticated. More writers like Joe Hill and Jack Ketchum are winding up in the literary section of your local bookshop or library. No longer is horror marginalised. It’s increasingly seen as respectable and justifiably good writing.
