Spooky spooky

So my fantasy writing workshop is working on a horror segment right now... I've always wanted to write a horror story, but I've never been able to manage it right. Maybe I don't have the gift for intensity needed to really get someone scared.

My friend turned me on to H.P. Lovecraft... about the only thing I've read is "The Music of Enrich Zann." Which was fabulous - but not quite as entertaining as Neil Gaiman's interview about him.

My favorite bit: "It's pseudopod is reaching out for me! No! No!" I think writing a story that includes that line should be canon in all writing workshops. Things can only get better from there.
