In this Friday the 13th special episode, Caitlin Liz Fisher geeks out about the horror genre with Libby Edwardson, one of the talented writers inside their writing mentorship community.
Get some epic movie recommendations and hear Caitlin and Libby's insights on how fast the genre is evolving, the current state of horror in film, the representation of women in the genre, and how to set better boundaries when it comes to consuming horror content.
They also talk about Libby's creative process in drafting and revising her novel (a quiet horror novel set in the fictional Appalachian town of Jubilee, West Virginia), as well as the tedious process of querying and publishing.
So, if you're a fan of the spooky and the macabre, or perhaps are in the process of writing your own horror novel, this one's especially for you!
You Will Learn:
Horror films, books, tropes, and the genre in general, how it relates to gender, specifically female characters and women in horror
The importance of considering cultural context when evaluating older films, your personal boundaries when it comes to horror, and the psychological impact of acting in films depicting real violence
