Work-in-Progress Horror Novel’s Going Well

Editing my horror manuscript has mainly become writing again. Specifically, since I’m writing Elijah’s (the protagonist) father to be a tyrannical monster, I’ve added a lot of subtle things to highlight that. He gives his wife “the look” when she’s invited to visit a church lady’s house, and she nervously darts her eyes from the church lady to her husband, hoping he won’t react badly. He blows up at his son when he shoots a deer and gives nonsense reasons, but really it’s because he’s jealous his son gets the “glory” for it. I even write the mask slipping sometimes and people glaring at the father for his actions that slip out in public. Going to be a bit more intricate to capture the feeling I’m going for, but overall, writing’s going well!
