| dc.description.abstract | “Eden Creek” is the first four chapters of a fictional drama and supernatural horror following the story of a protagonist, August, as she reconnects with an old friend and explores the town of Eden Creek. The chapters exhibited focus primarily on dialogue, world-building, and characterization of the two main characters, August and Ellis. Dialogue is a primary driver of characterization and narrative, serving as a vehicle for studying our characters via their interactions with each other. The piece also aims to introduce elements of both a hard magic system -building out fundamental rules of supernatural phenomenon- and trace elements of a soft magic system -implying some unknown “aliveness” to Eden Creek as a physical location. Literary elements endemic to the horror genre, such as suspense, are also used to establish tone and mood. | |
