Bump in the Night: Three-Week Horror Writing Course

Do you like scary stories? Do you like writing them?

In this three-week course for adults, writers of all levels are invited to get in touch with their dark side. During the course, there will be a variety of horror reading assignments in various sub-genres of horror. Writers will be encouraged to delve into what scares them and write about it! Respectful critiques and group shares will prove invaluable in completing chilling tales in short or long formats. From haunted houses to killers in the woods, there is something titillating and terrifying for every writer to explore.

Classes are on Thursday evenings, 6pm-7:30pm, November 2nd, November 16th an November 30th at the Washington Park Library. Please register by contacting Amy Rosa, arosa@clpvd.org
