Led by Adolphine von Traum—a French publisher and author of erotic-romantic literature—this workshop offers an introduction to writing horror-themed haikus. In just a few lines, participants will be invited to craft short poems designed to frighten, unsettle, or challenge the reader through the depiction of uncanny phenomena.
At the intersection of poetic constraint, the fantastic, and the realm of horror, the workshop explores the evocative power of the haiku: suggesting rather than showing, establishing an atmosphere, and conjuring unease with minimal words. It is a playful yet sensitive experience, guided by an author whose creative world spans themes of romance, esotericism, the fantastic, horror, idealism, and decadence.
