So I have given an hour to this horror novel, and 2k is easily reached.
Then again, and I don't want to sound negative on this, but I do like to describe and set the scene, I find it easy to get you in the characters head and so on.
I think the real test will be when the scary mind games start. From books I have read and people I have spoken to, you need to make the reader feel scared, on edge, jumpy. Like when I read the great Stephen King, it will be quiet in my living room, the TV is off, there's no music and, because I live in a very quiet area, there is little to no outside sound. Its quiet. Then at a really intense moment my blooming cat makes a sound or runs in and scares the crap out of me. Or the cliché, my phone rings.
How the heck can I make that? Well I'm going to try, I don't want to write a horror with blood, guts, and gore all over the place. Heck I blushed when I wrote a very mild sex scene. So blood flying over the walls and guts hanging out might not be on the cards....yet.
So far I think i like it, the main character is sweet, little wary at the moment but sweet. Kinder feel bad for what I'm about to do to her really.
I hope, once it's done you like it.
Tatty bye 👋
