Animals
in horror
|
4:00:00 PM
|
It's
fine to say that animals, as symbols of nature and the unconcious, represent
force beyond our control and our knowledge and therefore can seem fearful. That statement won't do a great deal towards helping
you to write the scariest animal story since Cujo. How
can you use animals in your stories to evoke fear?

History
in the making!!! In celebration of the new millennium, Cemetery Dance
Publications has commissioned a spectacular two-volume anthology project
under the editorship of noted author and historian of the horror genre, John
Pelan. John will be selecting one story published during each year of the
20th Century (1901-2000) as the most notable story of that year -- all
100 stories will then be collected in The Century's Best Horror Fiction.
The
ground rules are simple: Only one selection per author. Only one selection
per year. Contents to be kept top-secret until publication in 2004! Volume
One will feature even-numbered years. Volume Two will feature odd-numbered
years. Two huge volumes, one hundred authors, one hundred classic stories
-- history in the making! The contents of this book have been kept completely
secret... Until now... Join us as John Pelan reveals the 100 authors that
have earned a place in this historic book.
