One last guest post we have to get in, but I wanted to include a piece by my friend and fellow NBP author Zillah Anderson! *** Horror in the Everyday So often we think of horror involving the foreign or the supernatural. Vampires, zombies, werewolves, ghosts, demons, giant animals, monsters…even the killers we encounter a … More Women and Horror: Horror in the Everyday by Zillah Anderson
I wanted to make sure that my co-conspirator got a chance to get in on the horror discussion! This post is by S.H. Roddey, a very talented author that you don’t want to meet in a dark alley <g> The Subtle Approach So I’ve been promising Selah a blog post for over a month. I’m … More Women and Horror: The Subtle Approach by S.H. Roddey
And so we come to the post that I’ve been dancing around for a long, long time. I wasn’t sure if I was going to open my mouth and go here, and I wasn’t even sure that I’m qualified enough to do so. Like everything else, all I really have are my opinions and how … More Women in Horror: We are Not Meant to be Labeled Victims
Before we begin, now that I definitely have your attention, I want to preface that I’m talking about sex in horror with this post. Although a lot of writers have horror elements, we won’t wander into True Blood or Anita Blake or Dresden territory (if I do it’ll be really quick, I swear), because technically … More Women in Horror: Let’s Talk About Sex
Now that I have your attention… So I’m sitting on my couch taking a break from working on a manuscript. I’ve avoided working on this post and others like it all day, but after getting other things crossed off the to-do list (and some copious chocolate), I’ve decided I’m going to go for it. I’ve … More Women in Horror: Getting Naked
So one of the questions I’ve been asked off and on, whether on Twitter or at panels I’ve mediated on the topic of women in horror is one that slightly surprises me. “Is there really a need to even address the need for recognizing women in the horror genre? There really isn’t a problem, is … More Women and Horror: Is There a Problem or is it Just the Genre?
I wanted to take a look at another type of gal who we find in some horror stories and movies. By innocents I don’t necessarily mean victims. These are the women who are a little more reactionary. Maybe they’re prey to whatever is going on, maybe the events help them to find a stronger part … More Women in Horror: Innocents
I wanted to take a moment to share some things that I’ve been doing around the web – you know me: busy, busy! 🙂 First I want to thank the amazing Sumiko Saulson for having me on her site for an interview in her own Women in Horror Month Recognition series. I’m really flattered and … More Interviewed for Women in Horror Month and a FREE short!
Today’s guest blogger is the incredible Sumiko Saulson. After taking a look at her site, I’m really excited to read her work. Quite honestly, I think she’s onto something here. In my family we have the story of how my mother was sat on by a clown while she was pregnant with me, and for … More Women in Horror: Sumiko Saulson: How to Turn Your Daughter Into a Horror Writer
I’ve known Jondi for a long time. We went to school together, sang in a Madrigal choir together, fed pigeons in Krakow together…she is one awesome gal. Not only that, but she definitely was one of the few who “got” my love of dark and subversive genre work early on. I’m so excited that I’ve … More Women and Horror: Jondi Schmitt-Soper
