Description: "I was elated when Monster, She Wrote arrived in my mailbox. It is a book I have been waiting to read for a long time...Lisa Krger and Melanie R. Anderson deserve a standing ovation."--Danielle Trussoni for The New York Times Book Review "Inspired not only in the way it explores what the off-kilter, the monstrous and the half-known has meant to women for centuries but also in how it illuminates the often unusual lives of the women who crafted these dark worlds."-- BookPage "Your necronomicon for all women writing horror."-- Book Riot "The curatorial quality of a literary anthology, the historical rigor of an academic text, and the pleasure of a picture book."-- Tor.com "A great gift for anyone fascinated with genre writing."-- SFX Magazine "Straddling the divide between highly useful reference and compulsively readable stories about the writing lives of the women of horror, this book will keep you up all night (one way or another)."-- Booklist , starred review "A perfect way to find your next spooky story."-- Tulsa World "It's like if you've ever spent a night hopping from Wikipedia entry to Wikipedia entry...because you're just devouring entry after entry...It's so entertaining."-- BookRiot "Presented in a breezy, conversational style that makes it easy to gobble up whole sections at a time...Anyone from casual fans to horror historians will benefit from reading this important book."-- Cemetery Dance "This biographical index will reawaken readers' admiration for established virtuosos of literary terror and inspire curiosity in lesser-known specialists in fictitious fear."-- Publishers Weekly "An engrossing, eye-opening encyclopedia on the pioneering women who went against convention and broke down barriers to mold the horror fiction genre, thereby inspiring generations of writers and even filmmakers with their works." -- Geeks of Doom "A fantastic dive into the literary world's spookiest stories and gives an impressive insight into the women behind such ghastly tales, all while laying out the history of horror." -- But Why Tho?, 5 star review "Unique, fascinating, informative...an extraordinary and unreservedly recommended addition to personal, community, college, and university library."-- Midwest Book Review
