Review: Kroger & Anderson, Monster, She Wrote (2019)

Monster, She Wrote: The Women Who Pioneered Horror and Speculative Fiction by Lisa Kröger

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Brief biographies of 41 women writers, from Margaret Cavendish to Jewelle Gomez, who wrote/write horror (and/or speculative fiction, but mostly horror). Tone is chatty (I was not surprised to learn that the authors also have a podcast), but I never quite felt like the subject matter was being dumbed down. Certainly, if you are interested in learning about the history of horror written by women, this is a great book to start with.
