SPOOKY SCHOLARS STUDY GROUP
via PATREON

For horror thinkers
wanting to learn, create, and evolve their work with expert eyes.

Studying with the Spooky Scholars

You’re a horror nerd of the highest order—the kind who reads horror literature and the theory behind it… and wishes you had people who were just as excited to talk about it.

 

Because let’s be honest: most of the world doesn’t exactly light up when you bring up Gothic architecture, liminality, body horror metaphors, or your latest academic rabbit hole. Trust me. I know from experience!

But this group is different.

Welcome to a small, tight-knit community of authors, PhD candidates, and independent scholars who live and breathe this stuff. Here, you’re surrounded by people who understand your niche obsessions, your research spirals, your half-written essays, and your “is this too weird or too academic?” questions.

Spoiler: it’s not. Not here.

Inside this group, you can pose ideas, get thoughtful feedback on your writing, share your research struggles, or ask for leads when you’re deep in the archives. You don’t have to do your creative or scholarly work alone. Your horror homies have your back!

 

This is a place where people actually want to hear about your latest horror project.

And because you’re part of the Scholars tier, you also get access to exclusive courses, including writing classes and small writing groups—either completely free or at a discount.

 

These aren’t just passive lessons or a list of recordings; this is ongoing, hands-on editing, first-eyes feedback on essays or fiction, and collective guidance that will help you sharpen your voice and strengthen your work for publication or plain ol' bragging rights. Or maybe a podcast episode of your own! 

If you’ve been craving a community where your intellectual curiosity is celebrated, where your horror brain feels seen, and where your projects get real support, this is the tier we built just for you...(and maybe also me and my selfish desires...)
