Daniel reviews The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon, the first book in its series published in 2013. The Bone Season is an interesting novel combining the dystopian with the supernatural and straddling the line between YA and adult-oriented fiction in some ways while conforming to typical YA conventions in others.

An action scene is a section of a story where physicality and/or movement becomes a focus and the flow of events in the story becomes fast-paced. A lot of the time, this takes the form of some sort of fight or battle.

I’ve talked about a lot of things at this point and shared a lot of my perspective on writing, but up until this point I haven’t really talked about what I am currently and actively working on, nor what I hope to do in the future.

The other day while working on something for Stories Across Borders and my post about sci-fi stories I’d recommend to people, it occurred to me that I’ve never really discussed why I talk so much about mediums other than prose or poetry when those are the mediums I’m primarily active in.

Daniel examines why uncertainty is an integral aspect of horror stories - and stories in general.

I’ve talked a lot about stories here through Stories Across Borders - it’s kind of what I do. I’ve deconstructed the writings of others in many different mediums and, typically, every forth episode I’d examine writing of my own - even if I didn’t like it.
