Dead Signal - Writing Sci-Fi Horror Workshop
Build a Nightmare No One Can Escape
Space already gives horror everything it needs: isolation, distance, confinement, hostile environments, dependence on technology, and the terrifying scale of the unknown.
The trick is turning those ingredients into a story that feels truly frightening—not just science fiction with a few scary moments added in.
In this practical two-hour workshop, USA Today Bestselling Author Kat Campbell will show you how to twist speculative ideas toward horror, build a coherent threat, create the right protagonist for your nightmare, escalate the danger, and shape a premise with both strong genre appeal and real narrative momentum.
