The Sinister Scoop
Support Indie
All of us at The Scoop buy independent as often as possible. But! Sometimes your money can do a little extra good. That's why we're proud to promote sales and products for causes and creators important to the community.
Highlighted Shops
Below are a few of our favorite horror creators who we know could use the extra support and business right now. These are all people/products we believe in and are happy to spotlight.
ctrlaltcassie is one of the most vibrant and creative art shops on the internet. Get prints, designs, fandom content, and even some custom art when you visit, and help support one of our favorite indie creators.
Buy Direct
We have so many resources on this website that highlight indie presses, but we want to take this just a step further by shining a spotlight on outlets that are independently owned, and where you can purchase books outside major distribution channels.
Archive of the Odd is an independent publisher of epistolary fiction. Their shop runs through Big Cartel as opposed to a certain large book conglomerate
Godless.com is our ebook distributer of choice. All indie, with a focus on royalties being paid to authors -- all with a 5% charity opt-in.
Preorder
Let's put that book-hoarding addiction to good use! Did you know that preorder campaigns are one of the most useful times to purchase indie books? Below are a couple books currently available to purchase prior to release.
Back a Project
Buying indie is all well and good, but sometimes you want to feel like you're part of the experience. That's why The Sinister Scoop is now proud to feature active Kickstarters from creators and teams we trust.
Charity
Ranging from charity anthologies to GoFundMes to just spreading awareness about important causes, this is the spot for community members who aim to help out.
