Gothic horror literature was born of the Dark Romanticism movement of the late eighteenth century and, like all literature, has adapted and evolved to reflect changing times and cultures. The constant elements include dread, isolation, insanity, decay, the grotesque and the speculative. Gothic stories rely heavily on atmosphere and setting; they delve into the shadows and uncover horrors. KT Wagner will provide an overview of modern gothic writing, including the growing subgenre of Northern Gothic (further defined by our vast and varied Canadian landscapes, peoples, histories, and traditions) as well as ideas and tools for writing your own gothic tale.

As a result of participating in this webinar, attendees will have an overview of the modern gothic horror genre and some tools and ideas for creating their own gothic horror stories.

Presenter: KT Wagner
Length: 90 minutes (including Q&A)
Level: Basic and Intermediate
Type: Informational

COST: This series is free due to COVID-19’s impact on the writing community; space in the live event is limited to the first 100.
