[cypher2004]

ok, this will sound really lame, but i am a 17 year old kid in the UK and i am working on my own horror novel.

the basic storyline is a man and woman are in a car accident and the man passes out. when he awakens, the woman is missing and he notices a small town so he walks towards it. when he gets there, he realises that theres something more than him and the occupants (well, wots left of them) there.

then it generates into a story on how he runs into a group of the occupiers who r holding up in a barracaded building who r trying to escape the town and the strange creatures.

now, im not developing names or answers to questions such as 'what they are', 'why they r there', etc etc as they would care about that.

anyway, i need ideas on how it can become more of a horror. anything, from styles of writing to what would scare you in a book form.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
