Author Sumiko Saulson has compiled a great resource, 60 Black Women In Horror Fiction, which is now available on Smashwords for free. February being both Black History Month and Women in Horror Month, this is a perfect choice to add to your reader’s advisory resources. Saulson based the short book on blog posts she has written over the past few years that provided short biographies of  followed up with interviews from some well known black women authors, including Jemiah Jackson and Linda Addison.  The women Saulson profiled have authored books from all over the spectrum, including erotica, urban fantasy, poetry, and science fiction… but all of them have published something that qualifies them as writers in the horror genre.

RA librarians, you’ll definitely want to check this out. The price couldn’t be any better, that’s for sure! Many thanks to Sumiko Saulson for compiling this reference– she’s an inspiration!
