Controversy at Noon: Who is the Greatest Horror Writer of All Time?
Writers' Guild of Alberta PodcastShow Notes
We’re pivoting a bit and looking to have some fun with our October Controversy @ Noon Panel; this may be our most controversial discussion to date! We want to know: Who is the greatest horror writer of all time? From the gothic pages of Stoker and Shelley, to King’s twisty endings or Rice’s description-laden vampire tales, who really takes the cake when it comes to making us squirm, scream, cry, or throw our pages across the room in unabated anger? There are too many writers to list here, but you catch our drift. What makes for excellent horror writing? Are there formulas and tropes we should follow as writers to successfully reach our audience, or is creating timeless horror an innate ability? What do we love to see in horror writing? What do we loathe? Join our panelists this October as they hunt down the nuances of great — and not so great — horror writing.
Moderator: Susie Moloney Panelists: Richard Van Camp, Jacqueline Baker, and Francine Cunningham

We say literary merit is a subjective topic, but do we really think that? Is it a matter of taste or is there criteria that defines why some works are thought to carry more literary weight than others? How do we decide which works deserve literary prizes, or what is included in the CanLit canon? How do we judge the qualifications of who does the judging for said prizes? Does how we define “literary merit” exclude genre fiction or marginalized writers? Since the topic seems to be so subjective, would we say determining literary merit is a community initiative? Join our September panelists as they examine these types of questions on the subject of literary merit and more.
