Not knowing what actually makes horror work...
Viktoria Bezzeg is a lifelong horror obsessive who’s been chasing monsters since the age of 9. With a blood soaked love for all things eerie, and a MFA in creative writing, she helps horror writers sharpen their storytelling blades.
When she’s not teaching the art of fear, she’s deep in the crypt with the spirit of her cat, writing, reading, or whispering to the darkness...
Here lay the infernal offerings from the Scribe's personal desk of horrors.
Choose wisely dear horror writer...
"Viktoria’s critique was so insightful and throughly thought out! You can tell she really cares about story and getting the best possible outcome. For me specifically, she helped me see the parts where I wasn’t too sure about and get that second opinion to further iron out the story. With this information I can go back confidently knowing what needs to be focused on. Being a lone writer is hard but it’s easier when people like Viktoria are around to be a guiding light."
"I was branching out into horror writing, so I wanted a horror writer to help me find ways to increase the tension and moments of horror in the story. Viktoria delivered. She gave multiple suggestions for the parts of the story that could use that extra dread. This is exactly what I was looking for at an eminently reasonable price."
Writing horror is hard, and writing a horror story that actually scares people is even harder. In this tale, I'll show you ways to scare the hell out of your readers.
