Threw up a second post for Women in Horror Month 2013 - this one thirteen middle grade horror books with awesome female protagonists. Mary Downing Hahn tried to dominate the list, but there were some other contenders for awesome. I'll be making another post in a few days, probably. Here's the post!
Nice list, Bri! Read and shared.

A few people, when sharing or commenting on my list of middle grade horror books featuring a strong female protagonist made the mistake of assuming they must also have been written by women. I've made a post about that.

I'm interviewing Seun (AKA Luke Walker) today about his forthcoming new release, but since we're both on this list we're chatting about women in horror as well. Link here.

Trying to get Part 2 done. Why is this hard? February's too damn short, y'all.

Done! Past midnight, but it's still February. So there's my post on Silent Hill and The Moth Diaries.

You guys are amazing. Well done.

I'm going to leave this stickied for awhile because I'm sure some of us have not had the chance to read through everything yet.

*cough*

But "some of us" will, I promise you.

A special thanks too to Dolores for putting all this together.
