In this engaging and accessible guide, Eugen Bacon explores writing
speculative fiction as a creative practice, drawing from her own
work, and the work of other writers and theorists, to interrogate
its various subgenres. Through analysis of writers such as Stephen
King, J.R.R. Tolkien and J. K. Rowling, this book scrutinises the
characteristics of speculative fiction, considers the potential of
writing cross genre and covers the challenges of targeting young
adults. It connects critical and cultural theories to the practice
of creative writing, examining how they might apply to the process
of writing speculative fiction. Both practical and critical in its
evaluative gaze, it also looks at e-publishing as a promising
publishing medium for speculative fiction. This is essential
reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of creative
writing, looking to develop a critical awareness of, and practical
skills for, the writing of speculative fiction. It is also a
valuable resource for creators, commentators and consumers of
contemporary speculative fiction. Chapter 8, 'Horror and the
Paranormal' was shortlisted for the Australasian Horror Writers
Association (AHWA)'s 2019 Australian Shadows Awards.
