The Mother of a Monster, A Fairy Tale, by Christina Rosso

Once upon a time, there was a woman, a wife and mother, who was a master of herbs and tinctures. She lived in a small cottage in a small village where superstition filled the air like fog. Her husband, a war hero, succumbed to an infection after returning home with one less appendage. The woman’s potions failed to save him, leaving her a widow and her son fatherless. The villagers began to twist her healing into something sinister.

The Evil Black Widows of Liverpool

The subject of whether or not women can write horror still raises its head from time to time (surely it should be long buried now, given the plethora of amazing female horror authors past and present) but what about the act of committing it? I don’t mean the crime of passion, the revenge killing, the impulsive, pushed over the edge, ‘moment of madness’ murder.
