Introduction

Before you are 101 Horror Writing Prompts. Why 101 and not 100? Because even numbers can be too frightening to work with. Also, writing horror is a bit odd. The prompts you will find here range from basic horror (monsters, murders and mayhem) to more subtle horror (phobias, psychological terrors and situations.)

The idea behind any of these prompts is to take them in any direction you desire. Don't feel confined to what is seen in the prompt itself. Turn on some spooky music, read a prompt or two, write when something strikes out at you. Prompts are meant to be a relaxing writing exercise.

If you're seeking a place to share your writing, start a blog. You can also go to http://reddit.com/r/writingprompts and share your prompt inspired work there. Assuming Reddit still exists at the time you read this book . You could also just write for you, which is who you should always be writing for to begin with. Write things that you enjoy that you would like to read.
