Editorial reviews for my 1950s gimmick horror book, The Film You Are About To See 🍿🎬 Thank you- @adamcesare.bsky.social @claymcleod.bsky.social @gwendolynkiste.bsky.social @spookywv.bsky.social @brianmcwriter.bsky.social @angelasylvaine.bsky.social Viggy Parr Hampton @georgesreads.bsky.social

This micro by @angelasylvaine.bsky.social will ALWAYS be my immediate response: www.patreon.com/posts/662465...

I knew from the first casualty that Bury Your Gays by @chucktingle.bsky.social was going to be a blast, and I was so right! This book had tons of creepiness, gore, and heart while also tackling some of my deepest, modern fears (no spoilers). Highly recommend!

Sometimes story titles are hard, other times “The Power of Snickers Compels You” just pops into your mind like a gift. Hope this gets accepted so ppl can read it🤓
