What's Your Sub-genre?

I don't write, but my preferred horror always has a strong psychological or body horror aspect to it.  Less is usually more, and if the story gives away too much the spell is broken.

I might be biased, but since my degree is in psychology, I love psychological horror

I would have to say mine would be psychological horror. I feel that can keep it either very interesting or very boring when done certain ways 

If dystopia or post-apocalypse count as forms of horror, I would say that is it. I’m studying criminal psychology, so exploring the psyche of people in those situations is fascinating to me. I suppose it would be “social horror” or “societal horror” the idea of living in a world with such a broken psyche that it becomes the norm to be, what would be in our eyes, demented and indoctrinated. Also I agree on the erotic horror part, but not really sure how to say it but I enjoy it in a non-erotic way. The erotic parts become a sort of aspect of the psychological horror, if someone could somehow balance both it would be really interesting to see.

I am still extremely new to this genre but so far most of what I write seems to be based on suspense, fear, the looming sensation of the unknown, and imminent danger...all tied together with some heart-wrenching circumstances. What sub-genre is that?

I absolutely adore body horror and suspense heavy horror, the former because of my special interest in anatomy, and the latter because it's very hard to plan but also very rewarding when it's pulled off correctly. I have a soft spot for horror in general but those are my favs

Even out of writing—games, film, etc, I’ve always enjoyed psychological horror. Despite its lack of the generic jump-scares and such, the viewer/reader feels the emotion, it’s more scarring to me because we get to know the characters more, and it’s my favorite thing to write. I find it a bit difficult to execute it correctly, though.

I love writing cosmic horror and sci-fi horror! I've also been writing scripts for some analog horror and digital horror projects, those have been fun

psychological and body horror. I just love it.

Mainly weird, grotesque monsters (Dark Souls 3 type shit) especially in eerie or liminal atmospheres. I also love doing shocking, disgusting body horror, which goes well with my extreme aversion to plot armor lol. If the readers aren't as traumatized as the characters, I've failed as an author!

i absolutely LOVE psychological horror and body horror! anything psychological is what i love the most, but a good dash of injury or graphic violence makes it all the better!

building horror … all my pieces involve some kind of endless hallways or spiralling stairs- i love homes and buildings becoming an all trapping enemy

body horror and cosmic horror is what I mainly write. I'm not all too squeamish so anything with blood or gore is pretty easy to enjoy for me as well.

I find psychology generally fascinating, and psychological horror is a natural throughline from that. Our entire reality is constructed based on our faulty perceptions. If you can control the mind, functionally that's no different from controlling all of reality. Our minds are all we have, all we experience, and all we are. They're our most vulnerable piece, because they're us, essentially in our entirety. Power over the mind is power unmatched. With other threats, you can try to resist. Even if it's futile, you can try, you can put up a fight. But if enough goes wrong in your mind, resistance ceases to even be a concept. There is nothing but the horror, no escape.
