U is for Unknown
Hello everyone, Mel
here.
In Speculative
Fiction, as with most genres, the unknown is the driving force of the story. It
is the most effective weapon in the writer’s arsenal. If used rightly, the
reader is left with no choice but to turn pages at a frantic pace until, finally,
they get to that last page when all mysteries are solved, all questions
answered, all unknowns known— unless, of course, there’s a sequel. J
My contribution to
this work, Haunted, uses this tool more than any other story I’ve written. The
mystery remains until the last line of the last page. Sorry, no spoilers here—I want you to enjoy
the unknown.
This is exactly the feature I noticed most about this piece--the powerful, narrative drive that hijacks the reader. Excellent!
