Pale statue

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

This Thesis will focus on the Inciting Incident as described by both Robert McKee and Christopher Vogler, both world renowned for their workshops involving the process of making stories. I will argue that the Inciting Incident is the most important aspect of prose. The creative section of the Thesis is the beginning of a novel called, Pale Statue: Blood Sisters. The novel is cosmic horror set in rural Kentucky. The main protagonist, Maureen Ford, is a teenager who has grown up unaware of her father’s involvement in a cult during his college years and unaware that alien DNA has affected her growth, also giving her the ability to hear the dead talk. When she meets the new girl at school, Amayda Fisher, Maureen begins a perilous journey to create the Pale Statue and free an ancient race.
