Frightful Will Be Taking a Break

It's not easy to write this and I know it happens sometimes, but Frightful will be taking a break going into 2024. I'm not sure how long the break will last, but the truth is that maintaining the site on my own as I have will not be financially feasible in the coming months. I'm not closing everything down at this time, just taking a pause and prioritizing other life events and responsibilities.

Thank you to everyone who has read and supported Frightful over the past year. It's been an incredible opportunity and I am so honored to have interviewed so many incredible voices and to have shared so many awesome titles. Special thanks to Grace R. Reynolds and Elizabeth Anne Schwartz for writing guest essays for the website. If you have not read those yet, you should definitely check them out. Grace and Elizabeth are wonderful writers!

Phoebe and I will still be active in the writing community. My book, Midnight on Beacon Street, comes out next month so you'll probably see me talking about that a lot. This website will remain online so feel free to revisit any of our interviews, history lessons, or features while we're gone.

Thank you all again for supporting Frightful the way you have. It's meant a great deal to me.

All the best,

Emily
