how to write creepy stories

over describe things

under describe things

short sentences in rapid succession build tension

single sentence paragraphs build dread

uncanny valley = things that aren't normal almost getting it right

third person limited view

limited expressions

rot, mold, damage, age, static, flickering, espsecially in places it shouldn't be

limited sights for your mc - blindness, darkness, fog

being alone - the more people there are, the less scary it is

intimate knowledge, but only on one side

your reader's imagination will scare them more than anything you could ever write. you don't have to offer a perfectly concrete explanation for everything at the end. in fact, doing so may detract from your story.

Trying to Google the actual word for when you tie up a horse (hitching, as I have now learnt) but all I received was information about an illness. Good to know, but really not what I needed.

Fixed all major plot-holes by:

Making one (1) character a little meaner

Giving a minor character a more important role

Life is good.
