Masterpieces from the Queens of Horror, a Book Talk & Signing
Graeme Davis, author and editor of the anthology Colonial Horrors, will discuss and sign More Deadly Than the Male: Masterpieces from the Queens of Horror ($26.95 Pegasus Books), which includes unexpected horror tales by Louisa May Alcott and Harriet Beecher Stowe, and forgotten writers like Mary Cholmondeley and Charlotte Riddell.
Readers will discover lost and forgotten women who wrote horror every bit as effectively as their male contemporaries. They will learn about their lives and careers, the challenges they faced as women working in a male-dominated field, the way they overcame those challenges, and the way they approached the genre--which was often subtler, more psychological, and more disturbing.
