An A-Z of Women in Horror In honour of Women in Horror Month, here's an exhaustive (though still woefully incomplete) list of female creatives in the darkest of fields, along with works of theirs I recommend. I stretch the definition of horror a bit here and there, and whilst this is primarily about authors, I've also included some musicians, actors, directors, producers, critics, icons, and artists — and do keep in mind that there are so many more unsung women working behind the scenes in roles I haven't touched upon: agents, editors, make-up artists, camerawomen, production assistants, cover designers, FX creators, proofreaders, publishers, and a hundred more. https://matthewrdavisfiction.wordpress.com/2026/03/30/an-a-z-of-women-in-horror/
