They are brilliant, aren't they? Loads of really great titles and they have been so nice to a newbie writer. So glad Haverscroft is published with them! If you read it I hope you get a few chills along the way! I'm posting the reviews this week and next from the blog tour. There should be another one tomorrow :-)

Hi all! I'm Elisa, and my first novel just came out in January! The Company of Death is a dark fantasy apocalyptic horror story that's the first in a trilogy. It's about the Grim Reaper losing his powers during the zombie/vampire apocalypse. My publisher is Falstaff Books, and they actually release a lot of great horror written. I also host a YouTube show where I break down and analyze the metaphors and themes in vampire fiction and films.
I love to read Gothic style horror the best and am looking forward to getting to know everyone!
So many familiar faces! I'm so glad to see you here, and it's so nice to meet the new faces! :)

Hi all! Catching up on threads now. I'm Mandy. I'm a writer from upstate NY with a three and five year old keeping me busy. I've been obsessed with horror since I was old enough to choose my own books. I've published a few short stories, most recently on the NoSleep Podcast, and my debut horror with a dash of sci-fi novel is coming out later this year. AAAaaand I'm on submission for my second book. Looking forward to getting to know all of you. None of my friends like horror so this is a breath of fresh air :)

Hi. I’m Dona. I’ve got a lot of short horror stories out there but when it comes to posting I become all tongues and get thumb-tied so I mostly lurk. I’m terrified of the collective you so I post only when I’m in a reckless mood. I blog occasionally at dona_fox.com Thank you.
Hi, I’m Yawatta and I write horror and suspense, the darker the better. I’ve been a fan of horror movies since I can remember; my favorite is Scream. I write the stories I wish were on the big screen. My favorite female horror authors are Amy Cross and Angel Gelique.
Hi I'm Lisa, long time horror fan, my favorite women of horror are Elizabeth Massie and Tamara Thorne. I'm always searching for more female authors so I'm really glad to find this group.
Hi Lisa....On our website we also have a full directory of women horror authors. https://www.ladiesofhorrorfiction.com...

I was so shocked when I actually noticed the discrepancy! It's almost a "mission" to find more now!
Welcome to LOHF, everyone! Feel free to jump and add threads and get the recommendations and creepy talk flowing.
*wombles in* Hi :) New to the group and goodreads in general, I review horror for Screamfix, mostly books but also films and art I like. I curate a biannual show here in Whitby (where Dracula came ashore) exploring gothy horror culture in a wider sense. British artist, have just finished first leg of a tour with american author Sean Walter for an illustrated anthology we created.
Am presuming ladies using pencils and not pens are allowed lol. I'll try not to leave charcoal fingerprints all over everything. Ladies of horror art art also rare so am hanging out with you guys...

Hey everyone, what a great group 😁 I’m Tabby, and I mostly write what I would call “soft horror”.
I am a classic awkward introvert, so I often end up joining groups and lurking, but I really want to get to know more people and read more books. So... *waves hello*
Welcome to LOHF, everyone! Create threads and chat away!

Hello! I'm Sara. I write gothic, witchy fiction and read all sorts of things. I read YA, J, and Adult as well as mystery, horror, and suspense. If anything, I prefer books that defy genre and exist in the middle somewhere. I'm a writer and librarian!
