Horror Articles

We love classic horror articles written many times by famous authors. It’s interesting to go back into the pages of time and find gems that many people have forgotten. Some of these works are in the public domain, and some are supply to us by writers who are just interested in horror. We art big horror fans here at Every Writer, and we support that community of writers.

Please browse these articles and know that we are always looking for pieces that delve into the history of some of the myths and legends that have sprouted into what is now horror writing. If you are interested in writing articles on horror please contact us. We are always looking for interesting articles. Here you will find witches, werewolves, vampires and much more. It is a popular category and we hope to have more contributions to it. Halloween is a popular time around here, and these articles play a large role.
