And I say this having heard Guillermo del Toro speak so eloquently and inspiringly last night at a Frankenstein screening. Now THAT is a filmmaker to idolise. Not flawless by any means, but his love of the craft is just so wonderful.

I’m glad I waited to see it on the big screen. Absolutely fucking gorgeous 😍

We're not just talking horror here; it's anything dark and speculative, so that includes your scary space tales, dark fantasy, myth retellings, paranormal romance... anything that's got a little dark magic to it.

But it's been a fallow period for quality drabbles, and now the Beast is getting hungry.

Help us to survive by submitting your tiny tales of the dark and speculative - just make sure they're exactly 100 words, with a recognisable story structure! 🧵⬇️
