About Us
A Community for The Spooky At Heart
Horror has always been a reflection of what society needs most. Spooky stories have captured our hearts and souls since the dawn of time, and here at Read By Daylight, we think we need to lean into them now more than ever. If you reread Goosebumps after a hard day, if splatterpunk doesn't begin to compare to the hellscape that is work, or if you were a dark romance girly even before it was cool, you'll find a home in our community. Together, let's embrace the dark and hold on until morning.
