Dark bleatings, my lovely tribe. I don’t know if Women in Horror Month is still a thing, and if it is, I don’t know if it’s supposed to be this month or next month. Regardless, I always miss these things and since I read and review work by women all year around anyway, I thought I’d just go ahead and compile this list for you. This is every woman whose horror I have read and reviewed since I launched Happy Goat Horror three years ago. If you want to know more about any of them, I have linked their name to either their author website, author profile, or public social media account.
Things are heading in the right direction in terms of industry representation but we’ve still a way to go, so if you’re someone looking to expand your horror collection, this is for you. This is, by no means, a complete list, but at the very least it could be a great starting point. Enjoy!
*Note: if you’re an author I’ve reviewed that isn’t in this list, please let me know so I can correct that because I haven’t left your name out on purpose…there were just a lot of books to take stock of so it’s possible I missed a couple!*
