how to write endings that don’t let readers sleep

✦ killing everyone is lazy. corpses are boring. the real cruelty is survival—but the kind of survival where the character will never sleep right again. give them trauma, paranoia, scars that don’t heal. it’s way worse than a clean death.

✦ horror endings should feel unfinished. neat bows are for romance novels. if your reader closes the book thinking “oh good, it’s over,” you’ve failed. the best endings itch. they should feel like there’s still something lurking just off the page.

✦ leave something unresolved. don’t describe the monster’s body—describe the mug it left behind. the voicemail still playing. the dog still waiting at the door. absence is scarier than closure.

✦ the last line is everything. it should feel like a splinter under the skin. short, sharp, unforgettable.

examples:

“she turned off the light. something else turned it back on.”

“the baby monitor crackled: don’t forget to feed me.”

“his reflection waved first.”

“she tucked herself into bed. then felt the blanket tuck tighter from the other side.”

✦ horror doesn’t end when the book closes. horror ends when the reader stops thinking about it… which should be never. the goal is for them to set your story down, turn off the lights, and then immediately turn them back on again because something in the silence feels too heavy.

[A] Balancing Our Past, Present and Future Selves (motivation and decision making)

[A] Suitable for listeners of any gender. Contains no roleplay elements.

This is a gentle educational ramble about motivation, decision making and our perspective of time. I talk about three different ‘selves’, the anticipating self (looking to the future), the remembering self (thinking back on the past) and the experiencing self (experiencing the present moment) and how we often make decisions based on our present feelings and ignore the future consequences or benefits. I explore the concept of the present and how fleeting it is, talk about various aspects of psychology and how we can try to live a better life which balances our various selves more equally and beneficially. I also talk about how we can better connect with and empathise with our past and future selves, and I suggest some activities to help us feel more motivated to make future-oriented decisions by expressing gratitude to our past and future selves and appreciating our good decisions.
