By fallenprincealastor Do you believe there's a line where adding too much fantasy into your story will ruin the horror?
Serious question, i have a lot of ideas regarding monsters for my stories, I'm currently working on a story where a young college student steals a treasure from a powerful dead witch, instead of killing him she threatens to send 13 horrors to reclaim her treasures from him if he doesn't comply, while at first he doesn't believe her, she sends the first which is shown to be a lightning elemental and what truly terrifies him is that with each monster encounter his entire town gets frozen in suspended animation and he can't leave town, meaning he must fight each horror on his own.
After I began writing this story I started to wonder if maybe adding so much fantasy in the story would ruin it's power of fear and being scary. Do you guys think there's a line in how much fantasy (low or high) one should add to a r/nosleep story before it stops being scary?
