Thrill me: essays on fiction

Thrill me

Urgency

Set pieces: staging the iconic scene

There will be blood: writing violence

Making the extraordinary ordinary

Designing suspense

Don't look back

Modulation: the art of reversal

Sounds like writing

Move mountains: activating setting

Feckless pondering

Get a job

Consider the orange: meaningful repetition

Home improvement: revision as renovation

Go the distance.
