I’m being hunted down by the very angry, very angsty monster I made this one time at school. He keeps murdering everyone I know and wants me to build him a wife!Conflict in genre fiction can seem, on the surface, pretty unrelatable. How do we get readers to emotionally invest when the stakes aren’t of this reality? This class consists of a presentation, prompts and games that will explore different approaches to creating genuine, believable tension in fantastical worlds and raising the stakes in a speculative narrative.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/48d58d90-f2b6-11f0-a977-c54f66ab18e0-rimg-w528-h740-dc14131d-gmir.jpg Rachel Harrison is the New York Times Bestselling author of Play Nice, So Thirsty, Black Sheep, Such Sharp Teeth, Cackle, and The Return, which was nominated for a Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a First Novel.
