Women in Horror Annual

The Women in Horror Annual is an anthology of horror fiction and nonfiction written by women. While not unique in the horror literary landscape, the WHA counts as one among a scant handful of women-only anthologies. The WHA promotes and celebrates female voices in horror, and the stories and papers contained within represent a diverse group of writers, each with their own unique vision. Some of these women have published previously, while others are just starting out. Women are often under-represented in the horror market, and this anthology is a step toward providing more female voices a chance to be heard/read. The stories herein run the gamut from melancholic to erotic; some are violent, brutal affairs, and others are more psychological. The papers include cinematic and literary analysis, touching upon themes of blood, motherhood, and insanity.
