By Sven Davison
A good ghost story will have you spotting phantoms from the corner of your eye, or cause your skin to creep at the slightest sound. A good writer utilizes sentence structure to build tension. Authors also use setting, character, and plot. But how much of each will give you the perfect witch’s brew? Sven and NEVS focus on plot versus character in this episode of Back & Forth.
