I would say not very much scares me in books, but I do get freaked out by body horror and too many gruesome details involving eyes or teeth lol #TBBChat

#TBBChat In #s3, Rebecca lives the most in denial, and Elena is most motivated bt her fear.

Overall, I think Acanthus from #TFTNG is the most consumed by their fears.

It depends a lot on the character and circumstances. Most times, it's the first, a slow buildup and lots of spiraling, internal monologue

Always depends for sure, but i like when people begin to doubt something and it feeds down into fear. The downward spiral when people catastrophize is so fun.

Creeps in. I want that dread to slowly build so that the reader sinks deeper and deeper into the character’s fear. #TBBchat

The endangerment of society's most vulnerable (children, animals, the poor, the disabled, the elderly, minorities, etc)

And one Freudian horror, parents/parental figures killing and/or oppressing their children (like Margaret with Carrie White)

#TBBChat My favorite type of fear is when you feel helpless; when you can't fight the monster not because you lack strength or weapons, but because you know it's stronger and better armed than you are.

Dread! That building uncertainty that feeds on the fears of the main character. Leads to a general feeling of not being safe that I love. #TBBchat

I'm not a horror writer, so the horror writers can definitely do this better than me, but but I like creeping foreshadowing as a tool, and making my characters feel helpless and desperate at times. #TBBChat

hello #TBBChat, i'm vert, and i am most certainly not just your host again in a different suit. 👁️

i write horror with an uncomfortable focus on identity, intersectionality, and making everything you know you should avoid just a little too enticing to deny. let's get freaky with fear together.
