#WritersCoffeeClub day 5: What’s a trait of other written works you admire, but don’t seek to incorporate in your own works?
I highly respect when a horror writer can put an image in my head that lives there, rent-free, still giving me the creeps from time to time even decades later.* But that's not what I want to do to my readers. (If it were, I'd be writing horror, not urban fantasy.)
* For example, Clive Barker's short story "The Body Politic", which I read sometime around 1990.
