The Uncanny and the Abject
Prerecorded
This two hour workshop will unravel the psychological theories of the Uncanny and the Abject. Together, we will explore how they pertain to crafting tales of terror and shock through discussion of published horror fiction and live short writing activities that explore the different techniques required when triggering revulsion or conjuring dread. Note: a short story for discussion will be emailed to participants and is required reading prior to the class.
