Episode 433: The Woods, the Mountains and Emptiness - an Examination of Survival Horror

  • Summary

  • Continuing with the spooky season, this week the dragons delve into the popular sub genre of survival horror. While you could argue that the point of every horror story is survival, this sub genre takes it to the next level with characters pitted against nature, the wild and even space - sometimes with a twist of the supernatural thrown in.

    But how do you go about writing survival horror that lands? What attributes should you be looking for in a main character? Why is setting so important? Join Jules and Madeleine for a discussion on all this and more.

    On the slab this week: Devolution - Max Brooks, Alien, The Luminous Dead - Caitlin Starling and many more.

    Title music: Ecstasy by Smiling Cynic
