Yours Cruelly, Elvira: Memoirs of the Mistress of the Dark by Cassandra Peterson
•••
Let me tell you. I did not know the Elvira story and I definitely didn’t know the Cassandra Peterson story. This memoir is raw and real from a woman who has been through it, became a horror icon, and kept on going when the odds were against her.

A Thousand Naked Strangers: a Paramedic’s Wild Ride to the Edge and Back by Kevin Hazzard
•••
Funny. Dark. And fascinating. Paramedics are the first people on the scene for every disaster. Underpaid and overworked, this book shows the humanity and somehow the humor of an incredibly difficult job. I’ve recommended this book about a thousand times.

The Lady From the Black Lagoon: Hollywood Monsters and the Lost Legacy of Milicent Patrick
•••
I have to first admit that I have been podcasting with Mallory O’Meara every week for 8 years. But she is one of the BEST women’s history writers going right now. This is first book and it made a huge splash in the horror world. The question is who designed the Creature from the Black Lagoon? Mallory goes on a personal trip to figure out what stories were lost to history and why.

Scream: Chilling Adventures in the Science of Fear by Margee Kerr
•••
Why are we scared? Why do we push the boundaries that scare us? This author does things I would never do and I respect it! She goes to the scariest places in the world while talking about the biological aspect of fear. A fascinating book even scaredy cats can read.

Monster, She Wrote: The Women Who Pioneered Horror & Speculative Fiction by Lisa Kroger
•••
This book is part encyclopedia and part guide and ALL INTERESTING. Maybe not the thing you sit down to read cover to cover in one sitting but definitely the book you come back to again and again. Women have always been making horror since the very beginning and this book proves it.

Sick Houses: Haunted Homes and the Architecture of Dread by Leila Taylor
•••
A brilliant take on horror and architecture. From homes to cabins to office spaces. Amityville to Gothic mansions. This book takes a deep dive on a subject I had never thought enough about!
