Overall I enjoyed this. The book is broken up by time period/type of writing, and so some sections were more interesting to me than others. I really enjoyed the early sections and the chapter on domestic spaces. The last section about current writers was interesting as well.
There are some fact-checking errors that I noticed, but since I don't even know most of these women, I wouldn't be surprised if there were more. That said, I enjoyed this and have added a number of these titles to my various wish lists.
Ultimately focuses too much on contemporary authors. I don't think many people picking up a book on a relatively niche topics wouldn't know Anne Rice, or even Kathe Koja, or Shirley Jackson. I'd rather it focused on older and lesser known classic authors and gave each more space instead of talking about authors horror fans will already be familiar with.
Good fun, super fast read which I'll be returning to in the future for recommendations.
