Motherhood Gone Wrong
Horror with themes surrounding motherhood, childbirth, pregnancy, and/or offspring that isn't quite so cute and cuddly. Proceed with caution..these books may bite.
Feral and Hysterical
This is a list of horror books written by women, as recommended by Sadie Hartmann (Mother Horror) in her book Feral and Hysterical. I highly recommend that you pick up a copy of Feral and Hysterical because it is so much more than a list of books. There are more lists of books, but also thoughtful essays by women writers. It's worth spending some time with Feral and Hysterical.
"Women are overqualified to write fictional horror. Period." -- Sadie Hartmann
