I am glad I bought this.

I am an amateur writer and have been wanting to try my hand at horror for a while. I enjoyed this narration and the information provided. The content contains some perspective, encouragement, details that are useful. Listening makes me feel like I can take my next step and start to learn how to plan and create a manuscript.

Short but contains some useful observations

It's not exhaustive but it taught me a couple things that I'll be able to use in my projects.

Insightful

Quite a bit of information, though I need to listen to it a few more times. Good rules of thumb and advice about pacing and what audiences expect of horror.

inspiring

The narrator drew me into the material. After I heard the sample I felt it wasn't like your ordinary book on how to write. I am going to re-listen to this audiobook for a long time.

good chunks of info and inspiration

This was great for a writer such as myself. It helped identify tone, pacing and other writing tools for horror and writing in general.

Useless

Like most "how to write" books, this one is useless for it's stated purpose, but it is an alright, albeit thin, genre critique and analysis.
