I’m planning to make 2016 my year of only reading women, and I realized how few female Horror writers I knew. Now I have a brand new reading list that I can’t wait to start :)

Case in point:

See? Very very disappointing. I’m always looking for new horror writers, and I’m excited about these. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

She normally wrote genteel Southern USA family saga type books so this short novel is a bolt out of the blue and a perfect haunted house story. She instills the house with an intense sense of evil and plotting and it’s exceedingly good if you like the more supernatural side of horror.

I’ve always wanted to look at the use of the body and the visceral in female horror to see if and how it differs/compares to male takes on the same subject.

I’ve been a horror reader, sporadically, for many years. I kow many woman who read horror, and revel in horror movies, but surprisingly few practitioners ( the great shirley Jackson excepted).
