We’re well into the year (hell we’re nearly a full two months into 2019) but I was flipping through the site and realized I’d never done our yearly ‘Best of the Year’ post for 2018. I’m always interested to see what content our readers are interested in. The ScareTissue writers family continues to grow and in 2018 we managed 119 posts! We’ve started off slow in 2019 (this is post #8 of the year) but rest assured we’re not going anywhere. Stay tuned to the site and social media for all the latest.
And with that…
