In a post on BookBaby, Scott McCormick says that little details will bring out the emotion – drama, humor, or horror – in your story.

To make his point, McCormick offers specific examples of great humor (Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, The Jerk, Arrested Development); drama (Emmylou Harris); and horror (Coraline, Pet Sematary).
