You will be surprised to learn that the techniques of hypnosis and the writing of good effective fiction are startlingly alike. Without a doubt the writer can learn plenty from the hypnotist!

It is important to know, first of all, that hypnosis does not require sleep or loss of memory and these conditions are merely induced in the hypnotic subject while susceptible to suggestion in a "nervous trance."

Emotion is the key to both hypnosis and effective fiction. Emotion opens the door to suggestion because under the stress of emotion the mind becomes like the film in a camera, ready to be exposed to light.

HYPNO-FICTION tells you how to make your readers more susceptible to suggestion, allowing you to hallucinate them and make them believe in your fictional world as strongly as if it were the real world, peopled by real persons.

This book will shatter many myths about hypnosis (or "suggestion") and present a clear new view of why some fiction fails, and others evokes a reader's exclamation: "I could not put the book down . . . it was as if I were hypnotized!"
