Absolutely Kate is my Woman In Horror today! I have had the pleasure of knowing Kate for a while now. She is my only Woman In Horror who is a master at Noir. Combining Noir with other genres is not easy to do, but Kate savvies up to the bar and gets the job done. Her Halloween tale Apparition on her blog at-the-bijou.blogspot/ is evidence of that. It is way cool. Kate has two great stories, Eros Errors and Scare Me Up A Dream, in the great woman only anthology February Femmes Fatales. A number of my Women In Horror are in this superb tome. Kate once more is a master at the Noir crafting. I mean, how many people are capable of writing Noir and making horror leap out at you? Kate is the only one I know capable of this.

Have you ever really thought about it? Have you, God forbid, had to experience it? If someone asked you to illustrate it or describe it--if someone asked you to put a face on it--what would cancer look like? Pick up a copy of Bleed; a scary-as-hell charity anthology benefiting kids with cancer, and youll get a vivid picture of just how terrifying it can be. The contributing authors paint a sobering picture of the horror of the disease--perhaps not in the realism of the stories, but in the emotion fueling them. If you are a fan of the macabre, theres plenty to love: eerie things lurking beyond the surface, zombie cannibalism, murderous plot twists and an underlying sense of creepiness that spans throughout the anthology. Some of the stories build with a ominous foreboding; others hit you with a gut punch out of nowhere allowing no chance for preparation--again, like the disease they personify. But the scariest elements are found in the authors personal stories. The short bios preceding each entry detail their own experiences with cancer. It is in those stories--especially the introductory essay by editor Lori Michelle--that we see the true picture of how terrifyingly brutal the fight against this unseen enemy can be (fangs or tentacles may be easier to deal with). But we cheer just as hard for these real-life characters--these heroes--as the protagonists in the fiction. And their triumphs are better than anything any author can dream up. Buy a copy of Bleed, enjoy some great stories and help some kids. Theres no way to go wrong here. ****************************************************************************** Here is an Amazon bio that says it all!
