Women in Horror Book Bingo Card
These books are from @fromthemixedupdesk's bingo card on Bindery and Instagram. Of 191 works nominated for the Bram Stoker award, only 26 authors are women.

For anyone wondering why there are 25 books on this list of 26 winning Bram Stoker women, the 26th is The Drowning Girl from 1995, but apparently the author is problematic and the author of this list would not recommend reading her work. Just from glancing at the synopsis of this book, I'm assuming it employs the "you have a mental health issue so you must be evil/scary" trope (but have not read so do not know for sure).
10/10 recommend "Bad Cree"!
Oh, absolutely! I enjoyed that one. This list, however, is just the ones written by women which have been Bram Stoker nominated. Edit: sorry, I thought you were asking me to add it and forgot it was already on there! My bad!
I just saw it on the list and wanted to recommend it in the comments for additional clout hehe :)
A brilliant move!
Love this! I already have a few on my tbr, and a few read, but can't wait to look into the rest!
Kathy has done it again, the queen of incredible lists🙂↕️
Always content to sit over here and make lists.
