WiHM-DEEP CUTS Anthology Spotlight


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…

 
Deep Cuts…

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
 
Cover art by Anja Millen. Contributors include Nancy Holder, Yvonne Navarro, Mehitobel Wilson, Lisa Morton, Sandra Odell, Samael Gyre, Sara Taylor, Michael Haynes, R.S. Belcher, Stephen Woodworth, C.W. Smith, Colleen Anderson, James Chambers, Ed Kurtz, Rachel Karyo, Kelly A. Harmon, Scathe meic Beorh, Patricia Lillie, Satyros Phil Brucato, and Rob M. Miller.
