We've put aside normal content this week to pay tribute to Women in Horror Recognition Month.
From
Mary Shelley to the late
Ingrid Pitt. Horror would be a pale imitation of what it is today without the work of fantastic women such as
Allyson Bird,
Poppy Z. Brite,
Angela Carter,
Mary Harron,
Susan Hill,
Shirley Jackson,
Tabitha King,
Sarah Langan,
Tanith Lee,
Sarah Pinborough,
Cherie Priest,
Ann Radcliffe,
Anne Rice,
Alexandra Sokoloff,
Barbara Steele,
Lisa Tuttle, and of course Twisted Tales friends and supporters
Laura Bettney,
Alison Littlewood,
Amanda Norman and
Sharon Ring. And those names merely skim the deep, dark lake of women in horror, to all the legions of other authors, artists, bloggers, reviewers, directors, actors, and fans - we salute you!
