A few days late in posting this due to podcasts and events, but I’m delighted to share the release of Why I Love Horror, edited by Becky Spratford, gathering essays from many of us horror authors on why we love the genre so much. I’m honored to be part of with my essay “The Giant Footprint of Horror,” about a certain giant monster and what horrors means to me.
There are so many wonderful essays in here, personal stories and studies on why we love the things that creep us out in fiction.
Becky also joined Alma Katsu, one of the contributors, in talking with People magazine, and they both gave lovely shout-outs to many of us in “Why Is Horror Having a Moment? Authors Alma Katsu and Becky Spratford Break It Down (Exclusive)”.
“Then there are authors like Rachel Harrison, Gwendolyn Kiste and Hailey Piper who take the experiences and rage of simply being a woman and use the guardrails of horror to create something wholly new. As a result, they are bringing so many women readers to what used to be thought of as a male-dominated genre.”
