Originally published September 7, 2019 in The Rational.

When you think of female characters in horror films, you might think of a bra-less bimbo being stalked through the woods by a masked serial killer. Or perhaps you’re picturing a perfectly coiffed starlet from the 1940s fainting at the sight of a costumed monster.

Ellen Reviews “The House of the Devil”

It’s no secret that I love a good retro and vintage aesthetic, and I do my best to live that vintage old-school vibe to my core, haha!

I’ll admit, in part this kind of horror just isn’t my style, as I’m finding more and more. With many books like this, I know there will be many who really appreciate what Shea does here, and will get far more enjoyment out of this than I did.
