Michael Arnzen has compiled a wonderful guide for using 100 Jolts in the classroom or as a weapon against writer's block for authors.

If you're running a lecture on the craft of horror fiction or ultra short stories, you will definitely find something useful here. Teach the whole book, a few selected stories, or just borrow from the literary discussion questions and creative writing prompts.

Writers can use Arnzen's nortoriously inspiring prompts to "instigate" some ideas for new stories, novels, or poems.
