The Bones of Horror I

Simplify your Scary Stories

We take a page from Ash Law, who laid out how to structure horror stories in "The Trajectory of Fear". Build some pressure! Unleash some beasts! The result is a simple table that can help lay out a story in a way that keeps ramping up the tension until the blood in your ears is boiling hot and full of goosebumps, then releases it in a wave of icy spews. You get it. It’s all about the bones… the bones of horror.
