Mark Berton On Writing Aroughcoune: Scientific Horror & Character  - The Ginger Nuts Of Horror Review Website Horror author Mark Berton discusses crafting Aroughcoune, where science meets terror. Explore his writing process, influences like Clive Barker, and building dread from real-world fears.

Most horror writers think in monsters. Mark Berton thinks in science experiments gone wrong. I talked to the author of Aroughcoune about narrative puzzles, plausibility, and the dread of the familiar.

REVIEW — Aroughcoune (Mark Berton) Animal horror is alive and well -- but this tale is of a creature far from it. Behold the Aroughcoune, a rabid trash panda fit for a 50s sci-fi movie screen. Pages of non-stop action, author Mark Bert...
