Darren Shan , whose name you might know from Cirque du Freak (or any of fifty other books,) joined Howard, and Dan, and Steve Diamond at the World Horror Convention for a discussion about writing horror for children and young adults. We talk about which lines his publishers didn't want him to cross, how he first became drawn to the horror genre, and then we dig into how the "safe scare" of horror can be constructed. Credits: This episode was mastered by Alex Jackson, and was made possible by the generous support of the GenCon Indy Writer’s Symposium , and the Writing Excuses patrons at Patreon .
