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.
You’ll work on your own concept throughout the session, developing the foundation for an anthology you can actually coordinate, package, market, and sell.
