Delve into the essentials of writing horror, including monster creation, setting atmosphere and crafting scenes of gore. Facilitated by Nathan Niigan Noodin Adler, a Jewish, Anishinaabe, two-spirit member of Lac des Mille Lacs First Nation, the session will also reflect on Indigenous perspectives in horror storytelling. While Nathan writes from an Indigenous perspective, participants from all backgrounds are welcome and encouraged to incorporate myths and monsters from their own cultures. Participants will engage in interactive exercises designed to spark creativity and build tension.
