Does anyone have any ideas on what makes a reader really feel the fear that his/her character is feeling?. I'm not asking for plot ideas, but just a summary on what a horror story should actually have in it.
Details. Everywhere. I want to know what my own skin smells like by the time something tries to rip it off of me.
Detail. Got it. Thanks!. Anything else?.
Play on people's fears.
Think, what are people scare of?
Read this short summary by Steven King.

Appreciate it nmelssx!.
EDIT: Wow!. Just reading the plot has me a little shaken.
I remember reading it when I was little. I almost pissed my pants after finishing it.
