As everyone in the Jackverse knows, I loves me some horror. I have since I was a child (thank you Sammy Terry). I should have known that passion for fright would lead me on a collision course with a career as a writer of horror. At the moment, I am knee-deep in the gore of working on a number of horrific projects, including:

  • Lie Zombie Lie (the fourth entry in the I Zombie series)
  • To Be Written (a horrific tale about an arrogant writer getting just what he deserves)
  • Lamentations of Madness (a theatrical script for Screampark in Lexington, Kentucky)

So I am quite consumed by the gaping maw of the macabre. With that in mind, I thought I’d share with you my thoughts on exactly what makes for good horror. This could be applied to fiction, film, haunted houses, or some good ol’ ghost stories.
