PPM Fest: Facing the Monsters Together

Facing the Monsters Together is a writing workshop wherein horror is our goal and fear is our weapon. Here, we'll explore what terrifies you, and how to use horror as a means to process your fears. We'll discuss current horror makers, create our own horror rules, begin to craft our own horror stories, and receive supportive feedback without fear or favour. Don't be scared.
