The Quick 10: 10 Unexpected Horror Writers.

In this article from mentalfloss.com Stacy Conradt tells us about ten renown figures from literature and history who had brief, quirky flings with the horror genre.  Some of these you would probably never suspect of even hearing about the horror genre.  One aspect that may be of interest to writers of horror is the minimal experience each author had with horror before dreaming up the concept for his/her foray into the genre.

  1. This post is handy for my supernatural short story blog. I knew about Churchill and Fitzgerald but not the others. John Lennon? Really? I’ll definitely have to read the Steinbeck. Thanks for a stimulating post today.
