このクラスは気の弱い人には向いていません - ホラーライティング

An ongoing online writing class where we embrace the dark, the eerie, and the terrifying.

Do you love spine-tingling stories, eerie atmospheres, and unsettling twists? Then welcome to a writing class unlike any other.

Horror is one of the most powerful genres in storytelling. It explores our deepest fears and the unknown. Whether it’s the slow dread of a psychological thriller, the heart-pounding terror of a monster chase, or the eerie unease of something just not right, horror plays on what makes us human—our fears, our imaginations, and our need to understand the darkness. This class will not focus on violent or gory horror. 

Each week we will:

Begin with a 15-20-minute brainstorming session inspired by an image or concept, such as different horror subgenres or classic fears, such as being alone in the woods at night or discovering a hidden door in your house.

We will spend the remainder of the class crafting and sharing horror stories, using our creativity to explore fear in all its forms.



This is an ongoing class, which means there’s no set end date—jump in whenever you’re ready and stay for as many weeks as you dare.

The First Six Weeks' Themes:

Picture Prompt: The House at the End of the Road – Who lives there? What secrets does it hold? Or…what’s waiting inside?

Classic Fears: Being Chased – Whether it’s a shadowy figure, a monster, or something unseen, how do you capture the terror of pursuit?

Picture Prompt: The Forgotten Doll – You find an old, abandoned doll at a flea market. What happens when you bring it home?

The Unknown: Something in the Walls – Scratching noises, whispers, or something moving just out of sight—what's hiding within?

Picture Prompt: The Door That Wasn’t There Yesterday – A door appears where there was none before. What’s on the other side?

Urban Legends & Folklore – Reimagine an existing legend or create your own eerie tale inspired by myths and whispers.

If you love horror, enjoy writing, and aren’t afraid to dive into the dark, This Class Is Not For the Fainthearted is the place for you. Come ready to write, share, and scare—if you dare.
