writing of horror are nearly invaluable, but the fluff pieces that don't seem to quite belong weight it down a bit.
Building Better Plots
By Robert Kernen

I enjoyed his informative step by step guidelines on plot. I never fully understood the connections between the generic plots until now, and thanks to his wonderful examples I do. As a downside, I was disappointed with the chapter on outlining, which I felt should have been covered more than it was. Overall, a book you should definitely invest in if you have trouble with plot structure. Although be warned: If you're looking for a book that helps you get inspiration for plots, this isn't really the one -- although learning more on the structure may jar a few ideas loose.
