DARK DREAMS:

WRITING HORROR THAT KILLS

SEPTEMBER 13, 2025 2-5 pm PST / 5-8 pm EST

 Life today feels like a horror movie — and "horror" is fiction designed to tap into our dread and fear.  Currently one of the most dynamic and profitable genres, and DARK DREAMS is one of our most popular lectures, combining a basic LIFEWRITING writing framework with the insights of the "Queen of Black Horror", the award winning Tananarive Due, author of THE REFORMATORY. Due and her collaborator/husband Steven Barnes also just co-directed the horror film THE KEEPER!
