December 30, 2016 By: Jason Bougger

The Best Articles I Read About Writing This Week

It’s the final Five Links Friday of the year, and this time I thought I’d try something different. I picked some random sites and got their picks for best books of the year in various genres. Hope you enjoy, and I hope you decide to pick a few of these up soon! 1. Let’s start […]

The Two “Non-fiction” Books that Kept Me Up at Night

November 2, 2016 By: Jason Bougger

I love horror, but most horror novels don't frighten me. Here are two that did, and my reasons why they were frightening.

With Halloween was just a couple of nights away and the real horror show taking place in the US on November 8 (har har), I thought it would be fun to talk a little more on my favorite genre. As I’ve probably repeated over and over, I love horror more than most things. I love […]

Five Links Friday Halloween Edition (2016)

October 28, 2016 By: Jason Bougger

The best horror-related articles about writing I read this week.

It’s the final weekend of October (big sad face) and with Halloween taking place on a Monday (double big sad face) it’s technically Halloween weekend. So while we can’t change the fact that we won’t have a weekend night Halloween until the year 2020, we can still take advantage of the season and practice our […]

Five Common Horror Twist Endings to Avoid

October 5, 2016 By: Jason Bougger

Ever since M.Night Shyamalan unleashed The Sixth Sense onto the world, seemingly every horror movie and short story shares one thing in common: the need for a twist at the end. And now after all these years, I think it’s safe to say we’ve seen them all. Repeatedly. Even M. Night Shyamalan movies appear to […]

A Quick Write-up On “An Evening With Stephen King”

July 11, 2016 By: Jason Bougger

So I don’t consider myself the type of person who gets all gaga for celebrities, but every rule has an exception. And that exception was recently brought to life when The Bookworm in Omaha (a.k.a. The Awesomest Independent Bookstore in the World) hosted An Evening With Stephen King. Do you remember the first book you […]

Hey, it’s Friday the 13th and I can’t think of a better day than today to bring back Five Links Friday! So let’s go with a horror/suspense theme just to celebrate the day. 1. Brian Rella at The Write Practice asks Are You Writing with a Fear Filter? in his guest post about confronting your […]

The Best Articles I Read About Writing Horror This Week

Another week has flown by and it’s not only time for Five Links Friday, but for Five Links Friday the 13th. Only two mere weeks ago, we posted a horror-themed 5 Links for Halloween, but we’re doing it again this week to celebrate horror, slashers, and writers of the dark arts everywhere. 1. Farah Penn […]

Five Links Friday 10/30/15

October 30, 2015 By: Jason Bougger

The best horror-related articles about writing I read this week.

And it is Friday, but it’s so much for than that. It’s the day before Halloween! It’s the night we stay up late and watch scary movies as we prepare to take the kids out trick-or-treating and filling up with candy. And writing, of course. Specifically writing horror. So with that theme in mind, here […]
