Here's me writing about one of my favorite things again...
How do YOU sustain wonder (or horror) in your fiction?

This one's by my co-writer, but you should still check it out. It's about leaving space for the reader to feel.
Of course, I think both (or many) strategies are good--it just depends what you're going for. But also, I keep thinking about how a film or tv adaptation might dig into the spaces left for a reader. And that might clash with the emotions the reader first had, or it might layer with them to create a new depth.
