Horrific Story Settings for Your Fictional World

Story settings are a big part of the overall feeling of our stories. Use these horrific setting ideas in this short post to help your reader get into the feeling of the story you want to create.

Mistreatment for gender

Mistreatment for whatever reason is horrific and should be condemned. Handle these settings with respect and care.

In this setting do they mistreat a specific gender?

How do they mistreat them?

Are only some mistreated and some are left alone?

Mistreatment of a person with a physical handicapped

Is your main character a person with a physical handicap in this scenario or is it a loved one?

Mistreatment of persons with mental disabilities

What does this society do to mistreat them?

Do they have to hide in secret?

If they are found out do they need to run?

Are they shunned?

Are they treated differently by peers?

Are they even mistreated by family members?

Mistreatment of animals

Is the setting of animals on a farm?

Does the reader know the thoughts and feelings of the animals?

Are they personified from the animal’s perspective?

Slavery

Are your main characters slaves?

Do they own slaves?

Are they sold into slavery?

Are they sold onto slavery by their family or friends? (In the story of Joseph in the Bible his brothers sold him into slavery.)

Are they sold into slavery by their enemies? (In history, warring tribes would sell their prisoners into slavery)

Does your main character know something they shouldn’t so that they are “getting rid of them” by selling them?

Are the children sold into slavery by their parents to provide for the rest of the family?

By putting your characters through unfavorable scenarios you will write interesting settings for your reader.

If nothing ever goes wrong for them, they don’t have very interesting lives.

Use settings like these to create natural problems they might run into in everyday life.

The more naturally it is, the more depth the fictional story will carry with it naturally.

We hope you are enjoying our series on settings that make interesting stories. Look around for more settings that could spark your next best seller!
