In this workshop, we'll cover:

• Setting the scene: suspenseful scenes and how use them;
• How cliffhangers keep us hooked;
• Building suspense through characters: how classic villains use our darkest fears, such as being eaten, or worse;
• Building suspense in subtle ways: adding suspense into any genre with subtle conflict;
• Building suspense through dialogue: how clipped dialogue can speed up the action and build suspense; 
• Classic elements of suspense: –the hallway–the smells–the terror–why horror works;
• What’s behind the door: making the big reveal just as exciting as that trip down the hall;
• What’s in the box? Writing the ending to the opening story.
