![]() ![]() I hope you’ll also give my thriller, THINGS WE FEAR, or my three novella collection WHERE NIGHTMARES BEGIN a chance. My all-time favorite character to hate due to despicability? You have to go to a novel-length work to find him, but beyond the shadow of the demon on your bedroom wall….that character for me is Dale from Wrath James White’s novel, THE RESURRECTIONISTĭo yourself a favor and find those titles. RED by Jack Ketchum (see McCormick, Danny and McCormick, Michael)Ī DARK AUTUMN by Kristopher Rufty ( see Lucy, Helen, Amanda, and Michelle) Some of my favorite shorter pieces with horrible people: It can be very tricky, but if you’re disciplined in your writing and are able to step back see the overall piece, it can be accomplished. The author in you always wants to write more… always, but you have to decide how much or how little you can do to make the character get across the appropriate amount of jerk/scumbag and still be believable. The other challenge here is crafting a devil so mean with the economy of words you’re allowed in a novella (or short story). ![]()
