10 Ladies Writing Horror Fiction You Need to Read ASAP
Iβm so grateful for finding women writing horror. As a girl growing up loving the genre, the overwhelming feeling that the only place I had in a horror setting was to die a horrible death with my chest bare was a little disheartening. I didnβt have enough women to look up to in the genre, and it wasnβt until joining #bookstagram and the bookish community online that I realized how much I was missing.
When We No Longer Need WIHM, I Will Rejoice
Hereβs something I will say, quite regularly, and will absolutely always stand by. Women have always been part of Horror. Some of (though not the first) the first horror novels were written by women β Ann Radcliffeβs The Italian was published in 1796, inspired by The Castle of Otranto (1764) by Horace Walpole, and of course Frankenstein is still a hugely popular classic, written by Mary Shelley. Even some of the classics contain elements of horror, seeping into novels penned by women, because letβs face it, a womanβs life contains a multitude of horrors. Who can ever forget the imagery of a woman trapped in an attic, simply because she is unwell, while her husband brings in a new, younger woman?
Men Who Write Women: We Need to Talk
It seems weβre facing a bit of a problem right now. And itβs a conversation weβve had over and over and over. Some individual authors have listened, or spoken out, about it. Reviewers sure as hell have, but certain people seem to believe themselves βaboveβ the rest of us. Whether theyβre writers or reviewers or even publishers, thereβs people to ignore us when we say this. So it needs to be said again and again and again.
