Demystifying Suspense

The thrill of suspense is a competing mixture of hope and fear—an exhilarating experience that people pay hundreds of dollars for every year at theme parks, movie houses, and haunted attractions. But at the same time, fear in our every day lives is not something anyone wants to experience. In this unique book, we cut through the fog of what suspense is and why we both love it and hate it. We also explore how to create it for entertainment purposes and eliminate it from real life.
