Happy 2026!
It is our 30th anniversary here at Space Dock 13!
On the web since 1996!
You have encountered an extremely old website that continues to exist in old web ways, the same way it has done for now three decades.
In spite of being now 30 years old this year, started in 1996, it is still heavily active and old pages updated daily, new pages added daily, still now in 2026. All hand written, all hand coded (no AI), all by me, same as it ever was.
We Still Exist: The Old Web Did Not Go Away, You Just Forgot How To Find Us
|
This site was NOT designed for mobile devices (as they had not been invented yet when I created it) thus this site looks best on a computer, at 1280x768 or above. |
This is a very old website created in 1996, so, yes, javascript is needed for the site to work as it should. If things don't function, you may need to update javascript drivers on your device |
This site tries to be mobile friendly but it's been online since 1996, so old pages may not load right on mobile devices, and as this site has had pages added near daily for 30 years there are now over 20k pages here. |
Having started out in life as a GeoCities site, this site contains glitter, bright colours, blinkies, moving gifs, and other things the old web was known for. |
What makes a story, scene, or passage creepy, scary, or suspenseful? from writing
What makes a story, scene, or passage creepy, scary, or suspenseful?
For me the creep factor usually has something to do with my personal past. The unknown, doesn't scare me half as much as the known does.
For example:
Last week I was reading a story, which contained a line that stated: "He pried off the bottle cap with his teeth." It wasn't a Horror or intended to be scary or anything, but that line, just freaked me out. Made my toes curl up. Cringed all down my spine.

Why?
Because I once tried to open a bottle cap with my teeth, and it gave me a hellofa toothache, that felt like my gums were stabbed with needles.
So when I read that line, my brain immediately went back to that day and it felt like I was feeling it all over again.
Paranormal stuff doesn't scare me - ghosts, demons, hauntings, aliens, etc. None of that stuff does anything to me at all. I think because I don't believe in that sort of thing in real life, so I can't find a reason to be scared of it in fiction.
But stuff that could really happen to me: falling off a bridge/building, getting hit by a car, stabbed by someone hiding in the shower... that sort of stuff scares me in real life, and reading those things in books scares me as well.
Not a book, but the thing that scared the shit out of me so bad that I turned every light in the house on and refused to go to bed for days... Blair Witch Project (movie). Normally movies don't get to me. I can watch Freddy Krueger and the like and not bat an eye. But for some reason Blair Witch Project just freaked me out. My over reaction to it was so weird because I normally don't react like that to anything.
But I know why it freaked me out... and again, it goes back to the known, rather then the unknown scaring me.... when I was about 3 or 4 years old, I got lost. I wasn't lost for long, only an hour or so. But I was scared out of my mind. My father had taken me Christmas shopping for my mom. Somehow we got seperated. I couldn't find Daddy anywhere. There was a guy in a uniform, I don't know if he was a police officer or store security or what he was, but my first thought was, "A police man, he can find Daddy!" (my dad was a fireman and often worked with police officers so my mind went : police = a guy who knows Daddy) and I ran up to him and started crying my eyes out. A few minutes later he was at the service desk and a woman was calling my dad over the intercom. Everything ended okay. But, that was the single most terrifying hour of my early childhood... the whole being lost and feeling like I'd never see Mommy or Daddy or my cats or dogs again.... I was absolutely terrified out of my mind.
As a result of that incident I developed serious "separation anxiety disorder" for many years, even into my teen years, and even now as an adult, I still have panic attacks, if I get seperated from whatever group I'm with.
So, then I see Blair Witch Project, and most people get scared of the ghost or curse or whatever, but for me, it was the fact that they got lost, and no one knew what happened to them. The whole idea of getting lost and never being seen again... that just freaked me out of my mind, and made Blair Witch Project the most terrifying ANYTHINg book, movie, whatever... that was the one that scared me shitless, and that's why.
So for me, the unknown does affect me at all in books (or movies) but rather the known, if it's a thing I've experienced first hand, reading about it will creep me out horribly, because my mind, starts panicking and thinking "Oh no! I felt that before! I don't want to feel that again!"
So, for an author to scare me... they don't have to be writing Horror or even trying to scare the reader at all... they just have to write about something that triggers my fear reactions, and that could be so many mundane everyday things!
So, I was over on Reddit, you like I often am, and found this question. And answered it, like I do. However, the answer I initially gave was a simple generic answer. If you want to read my original answer unaltered, simply click on Reddit's embed feature links which Reddit provides for webmasters to be able to post their answers on their websites, while linking back to the original thread on Reddit (if you didn't know Reddit offered and encouraged the use of this feature, look for it in the "share" features underneath every post, comment, and reply on Reddit).
I am answering random questions today about world building, over on Reddit and decided to take my answers from there and expand upon them even further over here. So that's what this page is. Me rambling on about various aspects of world building techniques I use when writing the Quaraun series. The questions I am answering are embedded here. Clicking the link in the embedded question will take you to the original Reddit page where you can see the original answer along with other people's answers. If you wish to comment, you can do so on the Reddit page where a place to do so is provided.
In any case, as with all of my Reddit answers found on my site here, my original post on Reddit is much shorter then the article here.

While there are around 20k pages on this website, most of them are blocked from search engines, with only around 800 of them available for appearing in Google/Bing/etc search results. The remainder can only be accessed via the various links found throughout this site. This was done deliberately on my part, and I did it because the bulk of the pages on this website are chapters from 138 novels and 423 novellas, so only the first page of each novel and novella indexed by search engines, and the remainder are linked in order, one page at a time, via clicking "next page" at the end of each. So if you are looking for a specific page from a specific novel, Google can't help you.
