Resumen
Enter the shadowy world of ancient ruins, unspeakable entities, and a universe that doesn’t care if you exist. This comprehensive guide is part of the «How to Write…» collection for young writers and dives deep into one of the most enduring and unsettling genres in literature: cosmic horror, inspired by the works of H. P. Lovecraft. In this book, you’ll discover: What cosmic horror really is — and what it isn’t. How to use fear of the unknown as your greatest literary tool. The secrets behind Lovecraft’s narrative structure, atmosphere, and terrifying ambiguity. How to create characters that slowly unravel before the incomprehensible. Techniques for developing monsters, gods, and entities that are not just scary, but ungraspable. Exercises, writing prompts, and practical examples to develop your own stories. Tips on planning your horror story, building a shared mythos, revising your draft, and even publishing your work. From short, shocking tales to longer narrative arcs, this guide helps you bring to life stories that don’t just frighten — they disturb at the deepest level. Learn how to build dread instead of jumpscares, how to write what cannot be described, and how to write horror that lingers long after the last page. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced young writer looking to explore the abyss, this guide will equip you to confront the unimaginable — and write about it.
