Sinners-A Review Sinners is representative of what I truly love about horror. It explores the lives of the characters who live in a time of great inequality. It takes place in Mississippi in the 1930s. It was a time when only a select few could experience true freedom. The movie harkens back to the days of a horror tale depicting creatures who frighten us to the depths of our soul but also focusing on the lives of the people experiencing not only a supernatural horror, but the quiet, enduring horror of their daily existence.

It's the last day of #WIHM, so I'd like to remind readers that Mosaic is now available on #audible.
More importantly though, support women writers not just in March but always.πŸ–€

The main image is of a woman dressed in black, a hood covering and shadowing most of her face apart from her ruby-red lips. She holds a skull in one hand and her other hand hovers over it.

In this final instalment of @stephellis.bsky.social's conversations with women horror writers over 50, she asks about experiences of ageism, feelings of isolation, and what the indie horror industry can do to better support these writers.
