Horror is more than just blood and guts. It is the slow creep of fear that makes you look over your shoulder at night; it is the feeling that something is watching you; it is not trusting the shadow on your bedroom wall. Good horror writing is the ability to turn an innocent noise in the attic into a terrifying wail from a paranormal plane.
