Description
This workshop will examine how writers of ghost fiction can root their stories in ‘fact’ and/or make a connection to something deeply embedded in the psyche of the reader.
These often simple but highly effective techniques serve to frame the rest of the story, confirming the status of the phantasm as ‘real’.
The workshop will examine extracts of classic ghost stories, including Henry James’ Turn of the Screw and M.R. James A View from the Hill as a starting point for you to imbue your fiction with a sense of the real.
