Horror writer & creator of The Corvid Files blog and Youtube channel. I explore the narrative mechanics of fear, fiction, and dread. Fan of horror films and final girls. Semi-anonymous. They/them. 🪶
Had a end-of-the-month-into-June movie marathon. Did I watch any of your favorites? 🫠

I didn't leave any reviews on the site, but what were your favs if you saw any of these?

The protagonist has a whole trunk of religious trauma. I won't spoil the plot twist so I'll just leave it there.
#SFFChat Q1: What role does religion, faith, or a lack of either play in your work?

If you can't answer it for your own story, choose a favourite work of SFF you feel best fits the prompt and discuss that!

"The Forgiveness" is a short fable about loan debt and intrusive thought. I was fortunate to have this story published by a small press in 2022, and it would sure make me happy if you checked it out:

Ever make moodboards for your stories? I love making some to visualize my characters and settings!
