My girl @thespnofmthrhd.bsky.social over here killing it with her very timely story, The Curse of Medusa 🐍🔥 If you're struggling and in need of some inspiration right now, this story is where it's at💯 www.thesinisterscoop.com/post/the-cur...

Our beloved Becky brings us #throwbackthursday, with a review of Split (2016). What a better year that was, amirite?🤦‍♀️ www.thesinisterscoop.com/post/throwba...

😌

Sooo close to finishing this novella, and it's been fun af to tackle another creature feature. Always remember, setting aside all the doom and gloom of the business of publishing, writing is supposed to be fun. If it's not, take a step back and figure out how to make it so.

Thanks to the hard work of our beloved Cat, there are a TON of new calls up - go scope them out, check guidelines and deadlines, and get scribbling!✍️🏼📚📖 www.thesinisterscoop.com/blog

We’re all hurting. I don’t have all the answers. But I know that things won’t be this bleak forever. I ran against a MAGA incumbent in a “safe red” district in KY as a progressive, openly queer, 28-year-old trans woman. And I won. Please, don’t let your heartbreak turn into apathy or cynicism 💙

Hellllllloooooo to all my friends migrating over here!!!! 💜 This Scoop account will be taking the place of freaking Twitter - we'll still have the account, with a post of where else to find us, and for any DMs that come through, but other than that ...

I’m finally on Bluesky. Going to see if I can break myself of the Xitter lurking habit. Hello to the few who may actually see this. Any recos for who to follow in horror, film, fiction?

Yesterday's Throwback Thursday from Becky was Flowers in the Attic (1987)! While not advertised as a horror movie, the premise is absolutely terrifying! Have you seen it? Do you think it can be thrown into the horror arena?😳 www.thesinisterscoop.com/post/throwba...
