101 Medical and Hospital Horror Writing Prompts : Terrifying Story Ideas of Haunted Hospitals, Medical Experiments, Body Horror, Strange Diagnoses, and
Overview
The hospital is supposed to make you better.
But what happens when the diagnosis is impossible, the treatment is worse than the disease, or something else is making rounds after midnight?
101 Medical and Hospital Horror Writing Prompts takes writers deep into one of horror's most unsettling environments: the places we enter when our bodies fail us and we have no choice but to trust the strangers waiting inside.
This collection contains 101 fully developed horror writing prompts, each presented in Kevin Lintner's Prompt/Pitch format. Every entry provides an original fictional scenario followed by possibilities for developing it into a short story, novel, screenplay, game, or something considerably stranger.
Explore horrors involving haunted hospital wards, impossible diseases, disturbing diagnoses, surgical nightmares, experimental treatments, organ transplantation, emergency medicine, morgues, medical technology, body horror, death, and things medicine was never designed to treat.
Inside you'll encounter patients who shouldn't be alive, doctors discovering impossible anatomy, treatments with unexpected consequences, operating rooms where unconsciousness doesn't mean oblivion, and hospital corridors leading somewhere they shouldn't.
And the book doesn't stop with the prompts.
Also included are seven complete original horror stories inspired by selected prompts from the collection, demonstrating how a single story idea can grow, mutate, and become something entirely its own.
Whether you're writing horror fiction, dark fantasy, supernatural fiction, psychological horror, body horror, cosmic horror, or simply looking for an idea nasty enough to get you writing again, there is something waiting for you here.
The hospital is open.
Your patient is waiting.
See what's wrong with them.
