What Makes a Spellbinding Horror Read?

Rita Delude By Rita Delude


What’s the most horrific thing you can think of? For me, it would be witnessing someone I love being hurt physically or mentally.

To me, that’s what makes a great horror read, a story where something is not merely about blood and guts, but emotions so raw and passion so deep that the reader gets sucked into it wondering what he or she would do if someone hurt a loved one.

The psychology of the plotting of revenge and the best way to punish the evil one matters most, not whether or not there’s blood and gore enough to fill a football stadium.

So, that’s how I write my horror stories. For example, Alicia experiences the emotional breakdown of her younger sister after a brutal attack leaves Cadie raped, beaten, and left for dead.

Every fiber of Alicia’s being tells her that she has to get revenge. The man has to pay. But the courts take over, and to prison he goes for a pitifully short sentence that’s cut even shorter for good behavior and a system that itself is broken.

That’s not good enough for Alicia who watches Cadie miss her senior year of high school, the prom, graduation, and all the fun her friends are enjoying. So Alicia concocts a plan. It includes a psychological plot and a pen pal that will make George pay in the proper way for destroying Cadie’s life.

Find out what Alicia, a psychology major, has in mind for George as she plans and then executes her plot against George in Sister’s Revenge available in paperback and ebook at http://mybook.to/SistersRevengeCI

Life picks up for sisters Alicia and Cadie when George pays for his crime against the youngest sister. Alicia finds true love, Cadie moves on. Yet, George now wants his fair revenge against the older sister, Alicia, who wronged him.

In Sweet Revenge, George formulates psychological revenge to rival anything that therapist Alicia could dream up, and he has plenty of help from his newfound friends to make both sisters pay for what they did. You can pick up Sweet Revenge at http://mybook.to/SweetRevengeRD

Psychological horror with a touch of gore is enough to satisfy most everyone’s horror needs. That’s what I like. I hope you do too because that’s what I write. Happy reading.
