About

Novellas are quickly becoming a lost art, which is why Scotopia Press wants to rejuvenate the market for them. The Frightscripts will be a series of print books, each containing an illustrated novella from a special author pick. Unlike DD I and DD II, the Frightscripts will be pure horror or horror slipstream (ie., they may be comedy horror, dramatic horror, romantic horror, erotic horror, action horror, etc., so long as the horror is present).
