Sad Authors Writing

Genre: horror, action-adventure

The creative process can be a fickle thing, with inspiration visiting or abandoning you at the worst time, like when writing a 12-point silly little article based on a song!

With the recent release of the sequel, Alan Wake II, it may be as good a time as any to dive into the literary madness of the series!

You can also start from the (current) end of Alan Wake II, and work your way backwards, which fits the themes of the series as well as anything. Whichever flavour of cosmic horror you choose, there are most certainly many experiences to be had and twists to be faced!
