If you haven’t read these, I strongly recommend them!Ĭhrista Wojciechowski: Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia is a treat for classic gothic lit fans. These aren’t considered horror novels necessarily, but the ideas in these books, set in a dystopian time, are so frightening! They are quite a lesson in unfolding the story slowly and with tension. The poems these women write make me want to read even more horror poetry! I recently read The Handmaid’s Tale and The Testaments by Margaret Atwood. I also started reading more horror poetry by authors such as Linda Addison, Stephanie Wytovich, and Strangehouse’s very own Sara Tantlinger. I like them because they write strong women characters who figure out how to survive. Recent authors include Gwendolyn Kiste, Sarah Pinborough, Elizabeth Massie, Alma Katsu, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Sarah Waters, Toni Morrison, and Cynthia Pelayo, to name a few. The latest books I’ve read by women have been amazing. It’s a special time for women in this genre and I can’t wait to see where it goes. Bush: I have been happy to see so many published novels, poems, and short stories written by women. Nightmare Magazine is such an awesome labor of love. I slush read for them. And her new book, The Deer Kings, is great. Frances Lu-Pai Ippolito: I’ve loved reading the Black Cranes: Tales of Unquiet Women. Growing up, I didn’t see myself represented in that much American horror. Things are changing and I’m really enjoying reading horror from diverse storytelling perspectives.Īnd, I love Wendy Wagner.
