How to write your own horror book

The way you worded this question bugs me. There is no A to B guide for writing books and especially getting them published. Horrors not exactly my favorate, but I'd say suspense is key. And of course, you have to have a natural need to write, without that, theres no passion, and without passion, no book.

im no writer but you need alot of details and descreptive words

Avoid cliche

Go back to the classics of horror writing to see how the masters do it - & do a lot of reading before u embark on ur novel.

Look at:

Edgar Alan Poe
M R James
Guy de Maupassant
H P Lovecraft
J Herbert
Saki (wrote great horror as well as other genres)

Also try the Pan Books of Horror - they were an annual anthology of short horror stories that u can find in any second hand book store & features ome superb stories. Ditto the Dark Voices series

For a more modern take look at Stephen King (some people do not know that King writes brilliant non-horror too). Also read Roahd Dahl - some of his best work is horror

As for the publishing side..one step at a time, grasshopper

the best way is to get a literary agent. If you cant aford one, send a copy to a publisher. I recommend choosing the same publisher as your favorite horror book. You can find the publisher by looking in the front of book. Also, you should send the draft to yourself. Do not open it. This is so that no one will be able to steel your story and you have proof that it is your. good luck

Well you can begin to whrite about the thing that frightens you the most. Or what you were afraid of when u were a kid. Perhaps you can make it like it can truely happen.

one- do not follow the standerd. two- get lost in the thought. three- if its unexpected its good. four- details, details, DETAILS!!!!! five- fact is stranger then fiction. do some research. six- let your mind go wild

If that was common knowlage we all would be writting books
