Welcome to the Ladies of Horror Fiction Directory section K-M! We can’t promise it’s a comprehensive list (though we do promise we’re trying our hardest to make it so!), but if you are looking to read more female authors in horror fiction and don’t know where to start, this should give you a great jumping-off point.
Listed (last, first) alphabetically. Click on the word “Website” to be taken to their personal websites if they have one or their Goodreads author page if they do not.
As time goes, we will slowly be adding profiles on the site about each of the women. When that happens, their names will be clickable.
This list will continue to develop over time. If there is a name we are missing, please let us know in the comments below.
NOTE: A (D) beside a person’s name indicates deceased. A * indicates that this is a pseudonym (of a female writer).
Gentle reminder: We are not perfect. We may get your name wrong. If we do, feel free to let us know what we did. However, remember the golden rule and treat people how you, yourself, expect to be treated.
