Great Reading, 14 May 2000
By Deborah A. Woehr - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dark Thoughts on Writing: Advice and Commentary from Fifty Masters of Fear and Suspense (Paperback)
As an aspiring writer, I was especially interested in these writers' basic influences, fears, and drives. After the first chapter, I was glued to this book, absorbing the thoughts of writers such as Stephen King, Jack Ketchum, Anne Rice, and many others. This is a great gift for a horror fan.

Get this book, 16 Nov 1997
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dark Thoughts on Writing: Advice and Commentary from Fifty Masters of Fear and Suspense (Paperback)
Excellent compilation of the thoughts, theories, tips and tricks of some of the best horror writers of our time. Especially interesting is the way Wiater juxtaposes conflicting opinions from his subjects. The book is slightly marred by a lack of biographical material on the writers and an index (so I can locate and reread especially interesting quotes)

This Is The Black Bible..., 27 Aug 2002
By Bret Jordan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dark Thoughts on Writing: Advice and Commentary from Fifty Masters of Fear and Suspense (Paperback)
...and quite possibly the best collection of quotes from the broadest range of leaders in the field that I have ever devoured. I started reading it with a highlighter to cover the best advice. Excluding the front and back covers and the title page, the book is now entirely yellow. From veterans to fresh meat on the hook, this is the bloody book to read if you want to take your craft seriously. What more can I say to rave about this? Buy it. Read it. Then read it again. Keep it within reach of your desk for inspiration when the words just don't seem to flow. It's like a horror convention in your brain!
