Dutch horror writer and Hugo Award-winner Thomas Olde Heuvelt has been praised by both Stephen King and George R.R. Martin as a brilliantly original voice in their respective genres, and we couldn’t agree more. In this masterclass for aspiring thrill-seekers, Olde Heuvelt will walk students through what shapes up good stories that people will love and remember, how to build suspense in narrative, as well as the many lessons he’s learned in his illustrious career. Get ready for an uncanny event! Grades 8–12.
