  2. 10. In any case, there's a difference between enjoying the detecting process and getting off on the depictions of the murder itself. If you're enjoying the details too much, consider that you may be enabling someone who probably shouldn't be encouraged.

  3. 9. But horror can be cathartic. The higher the stakes, the more inhuman the crime, the greater the catharsis, and the greater the relief of the audience when the criminal is caught.

  4. 8. And yes, of course we sometimes write from the POV of the murderer. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, as long as it's clear to the reader that your story isn't a design for living.

  5. 7. It could also be argued that perhaps you have some responsibility to the members of the group you're depicting. Human beings are not disposable, nor do they exist uniquely to serve your fiction. A little bit of pity helps to counterbalance the horror.

  6. 6. And of course writers are free to write whatever they choose to write, but if the only woman in your story (or the only POC, or the only LGBTQ person) is the murder victim, then it could be that you have a problem.

  7. 5. That's because there's a long, unpleasant history of sexualizing (and, by association, blaming) young female murder victims, which fortunately is now being challenged.

  8. 4. For instance, although in real life, young men are by far the most likely to suffer violent deaths, in fiction, it is most often attractive young women who tend to appear in the role of murder victim.

  9. 3. The first thing to consider is the victim. A writer's choice of victim - and their attitude to that victim - can determine the tone of the entire novel.

  10. 2. As writers, however, it's sometimes useful to think about how we approach murder in our books, and what we're trying to achieve by writing about it.

  11. 1. Murder is a remarkably popular topic in fiction. (It's also one of the few topics that don't really benefit from personal experience of the subject.)

  14. We're told not to judge a book by its cover. And yet in the publishing business, that's literally all that covers are FOR...

  15. But it definitely has *nothing* to do with the fact that the author was a woman, as these book jackets of love stories by eminent male authors will show...
