As I mentioned in this post, Dead Head Reviews is running an excellent series of Women in Horror Month guest posts.
Sunday, they featured my piece entitled: "The Women Are Coming for You. Are You Ready?" It is essentially my assessment of the genre's best first novels over the last few years and the trend I have seen toward women writing a larger number of the best of these novels. I didn't even have time to dig into the novella and short story form, but there is evidence there [both with awards and critical acclaim] that women are also taking over. In general, women, and horror readers, are not longer worried about female authors being unladylike, rather they are starting to find their own voices in horror, and those voices are original and terrifying.
Click here to see my essay and here to read more in Dead Head Reviews wonderful series. They aren't just providing lists of women authors to read. They have curated interesting and useful information and content about the state of horror today, from the female perspective.
I am proud to have been a part of it.
