- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is part of a series on writing different kinds of stories. The story is sparing and simple, but the real drive here was informing the reader about the essential tools of constructing an effective horror (scary) story. This might help some readers who aspire to write with the basics of horror writing. I'd like to see the other texts in the series as they seem to be very approachable and might be a good addition to a school library.
