Welcome to The Scoop!

Hello all!

Thank you so much for coming by! There will be some tweaks and changes to the site as we grow and add new features, and we look forward to having you along for the ride.

You will still be able to find all previously published Evil Evals and author interviews on this new layout, but we ask for your patience as we get all the new content sorted out. We promise, it'll be worth it!

We look forward to promoting all things horror, with a heavy emphasis on the indie community, and all the people that make it such a great place.💀💖
