In flash horror, every word must strangle the reader’s calm

The goal is to unsettle, unsettle, and leave the reader looking over their shoulder long after they finish reading

Master the art of suggestion—what lurks in the silence is far worse than what’s shown

Begin with a detail that freezes the blood

Think of a fingerprint on the glass… but no one’s been near the window

Let that single image become the story’s heartbeat

Explaining drains the shadow. Leave it hungry

Ambiguity is the whisper that never stops

Root your terror gothic tales in places readers trust

When the ordinary turns sinister, the dread becomes intimate

The real terror comes from the violation of safety

Punch with pauses

Break the rhythm. Break the calm

The silence after "I’m here" is worse than the shout

Replace exposition with sensation

Taste, smell, sound—each must cut deep

The dampness of a grave that wasn’t dug

The echo of a lullaby played in reverse

The metallic tang of fear

These are the details that stick

If you explain the curse, you kill the fear

The reader doesn’t need the backstory—they need the shiver

The darkest horrors are the ones they invent

The mind is the most effective horror engine

Here are a few prompts to get you started

A little voice from the closet: "I’m not the one you put to bed."

He wakes to the sound of fingernails. The door is locked. The scratches? They’re on the inside.

Your phone lights up at 3:07. The message: "You’re not alone." You didn’t send it.

Read your piece aloud

If it doesn’t chill you, it doesn’t belong

It doesn’t startle—it settles

The horror blooms after the last word

The true horror lives in the reflection you refuse to face
