I meant to send a request a couple of days ago to WiHM (Women
in Horror Month) for official status to showcase some of the amazing
women authors out there during this event. But around this time I got sick.
Though it wasn't anything life threatening, it wasn't even the flu, it still
kept me down a lot. So today since I have recovered pretty good, I went ahead
and did a little catching on tasks that should have been done over the pass few
days, one of which getting official WiHM status as an Ambassador.
The information gave the warning that it might take a couple
of weeks to approve the status, so I figured I could do a blog post for WiHM at
the end of the month to show support, and that would be that. Then the WiHM
ADMIN got back to me very quickly with the OK.
I want to take this month as a chance to show my support for horror women authors. If it wasn't for the ladies in this genre, I wouldn't even be writing horror.
So, since I have this entire
month yet, I will be keeping my eye out for any female-horror-author related
links and books to share and discuss. I'm only looking for excuses to showcase
authors on here, sometimes I get a bit backlogged with things and I'm not able
to do as much as I would like, but this month I'm good for launch. And since I
found out about this special event via author Rebecca Besser, I had to join in
to show my support.
For the first day of WiHM I want to spotlight the
anthology, DEEP CUTS, brought to you by Evil Jester Press. Read on…
Warning: cuts may be deeper than they appear. 19 short
horror stories to give you shivers plus 60 recommendations for powerhouse tales
written by women—those bloody stylings and chainsaw rhythms that have lain
hidden like deadly gems among other great works.
"Deep Cuts smartly
sidesteps the bloody 'women in horror' debate and puts its money where its
mouth is. This fantastic collection, featuring both genders, pays tribute to
the best dark tales told by women. A deeply cerebral experience that is at times
honest and intimate, but always chilling." —Mercedes M. Yardley, author of
Beautiful Sorrows
