Too often, horror and science-fiction writers get stuck choosing between atmosphere and plot, originality and structure, or big ideas and relatable characters. This bundle gives you a clear framework for generating stories that are strange, suspenseful, and deeply human.
At the heart of this bundle is our flexible, card-based creative system, designed to make idea generation fast, playful, and surprisingly deep. Instead of vague prompts, you’ll combine focused story elements—characters, motivations, settings/objects, conflicts, and descriptors—to create your own curated story prompts. Each draw pushes your imagination toward higher stakes, stronger characterization, and the kind of twists that keep readers turning pages late into the night.
