Special Topics and Guest Posts
Author Spotlight: Nico Bell
An interview with Nico Bell! Her debut novel Food Fright was released in March 2020 and is available at Amazon. She will also be publishing and editing a horror anthology entitled Shiver due early 2021.
Guest Post: Haunted Women, Haunted Houses by Jo Kaplan
The first haunted house story that truly unsettled me was Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper.” It’s also the story I keep coming back to, again and again, to better understand haunted house stories as a peculiarly feminine type of horror.

Audra is back to preach about the joys of horror adjacent reads again! This time she is exploring translated books.
Guest Post: Countess Bathory the Early Years by Lana Popovic
When I started writing YA speculative fiction, my one rule for myself was to stay firmly rooted in the present. […] But then there was Countess Bathory, glimmering dark and inviting on the periphery.
Guest Post: How To Survive A Horror Movie
We posted a special guest post from horror reviewer Ellen Avigliano! You may have seen Ellen around Twitter and Instagram promoting horror for Dead Head Reviews and spreading joy, Supernatural gifs and book love like nobody’s business!
Shelf Edition: Gabrielle S. Awe
For this month’s Shelf Edition, we checked out the shelves of Gabrielle S. Awe! Gabrielle is the writer and narrator of the popular podcast Stories in the Dark.
Guest Post: Creativity, Agoraphobia and Isolation by Jennifer Anne Gordon
At the height of the most powerful creative work of her life, Shirley Jackson suffered from intense agoraphobia. […] In my past, I too have also suffered from this affliction, this all-encompassing fear to leave the house.
