Dread Read: Valancourt Resurrects Horror Fiction by Women with New Line MONSTERS, SHE WROTE
Ryan C. Bradley gives us an overview of the MOSTERS, SHE WROTE publishing line from Valancourt Books!
Monster, She Wrote: The Women Who Pioneered Horror and Speculative Fictionby Lisa Kröger and Melanie R. Anderson was published by Quirk Books in September of 2019. The book cataloged female horror writers from the 1600s to today, placing familiar faces Mary Shelley, Ann Radcliffe, and Shirley Jackson alongside more obscure writers, whose work is often out of print. Kröger and Anderson made a persuasive argument that women have long been the drivers of horror fiction. The popular history that excludes them has been revisionist at best.
