20 Ways to Show Extreme Fear in Your Writing

As I dive into researching signs of fear for my horror WIP, I wanted to share some of the most compelling and visceral reactions I’ve come across. Whether you’re writing a chilling scene or crafting a character’s panic, these 20 signs of fear can help bring tension and realism to your story.

Physical Reactions

Hyperventilating — sucking in air but never feeling like it’s enough

Chest tightens — feels like a weight or hands pressing down

Limbs shaking violently, knees buckling

Complete loss of muscle control — collapsing or unable to stand

Cold sweat soaking through clothes

Heart hammering so hard they feel it in their throat or head

Tunnel vision — the world narrowing down to one terrifying focal point

Ringing in the ears or sudden deafness, like the world drops away

Dizziness / feeling faint / vision blurring

Dry mouth — unable to speak or even scream

Uncontrollable Behavior

Screaming / sobbing / gasping — involuntary vocal outbursts

Panic run — bolting without thinking, tripping over everything

Clawing at their own skin / chest / throat — like trying to escape their body

Begging / pleading out loud even if no one’s there

Repeating words or phrases — “No, no, no” / “This isn’t happening”

Hiding instinctively — diving under tables, closets, or corners

Desperate grabbing — reaching for someone, anything solid

Loss of bladder or bowel control (for extreme terror)

Total mental shutdown — frozen, slack-jawed, staring blankly

Memory blackout — later can’t recall what happened during the worst moment

I need help shadowpeach enjoyers

I remember reading a fanfic on Ao3 about Macaque suffering from rigor mortis as a consequence of resurrection, and then Wukong takes him to the hot springs to see if they help(?), but I don't remember the name, and I want to read it again.

If anyone knows the fic I'm talking about, please send me the link

Normal Day

Macaque is just being a little shit

Also Macaque is so damn fun to draw!

I haven't had ths much fun drawing in a while.

Also who is someone you like to draw a lot!

And does anyone have any suggestions for anything LMK to draw?

It can be platonic or Romantic or just a character!

And sorry for yapping

Goodbye have a nice day viewer!

Is there a graphic novel version of Journey to the West that sticks really closely to the original story?

I want to start reading Journey to the west. But, I can't really handle reading the entire thing. My concentration level is low. Is there a faithful adaptation that I can read?
