Abstract

Studying writers of suspense (crime, mystery, horror) provides valuable tools to enhance the work of graduate and undergraduate student writers, whether their ambitions are genre-related or not. Such skills, shared by genre and non-genre (i.e., “literary”) writers, include crafting compelling characters, pacing surprise and suspense, and navigating twists and reversals.
