Bumps in the Night: Writing Horror Short Fiction with Victoria Dalpe
September 26, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
South Providence Library – Community Room
Do you like Scary Stories? Do you like writing them?
In this 4-week writing course, we invite writers of all levels to get scary. Each week, we will explore various subgenres of horror and look at different writing styles. Horror ranges from the very quiet to the very loud, so there is a place for every writer in the genre. Whether your interests are in knife-wielding maniacs, monsters from the deep, or suspicious wallpaper. Writers will be encouraged to experiment and explore, pull from personal fears, and complete a scary short story by the end. Homework will include short story readings and writing. In-class discussion and workshopping will be encouraged.
Pre-register by calling South Providence Library or emailing Emily: elemay [at] clpvd [dot] org
Victoria Dalpe is a Providence-based horror writer and painter. Her short fiction has appeared in over 35 anthologies and her first novel Parasite Life will be rereleased in the fall of 2023. Her debut short story horror collection, Les Femmes Grotesques, was released by CLASH Books in the fall of 2022. Looking ahead, she has book one of a new horror novel series “The Resurrectionist” due out in 2025 with CLASH Books. “Dalpe’s horror stories are equal parts intriguing, compelling, and appropriately macabre. Les Femmes Grotesques tidily secures Dalpe her position as an author to watch.”—Monica S. Kuebler, Rue Morgue.
