One of TikTok most secretive and sinister corners, the Farlands are not easy to find – but once you get there it’s a fascinating realm of uneasy atmosphere and analog fear. In this workshop, we’ll be exploring just what the Farlands are and what we can learn from them as writers, as well as taking on a writing exercise inspired by them.
