Not sure if this has been brought up already. I'm thinking of writing another novel after I finish all of my other WIPs (aren't we all?), but the thing is it would be a horror with first person perspective from a blind MC.
Would that ... work? What do you think? The problem of course is that during the scenes through the POV of the blind person I won't be able to describe how things look, only how they smell, feel and sound. I realise having a blind MC isn't new:

Would a third-person or omniscient perspective make more sense? Would it still be 'scary' having as little information about what things look like in a horror novel or are details important in that genre? (note: I haven't written horror before)
KthxBye!
