Horror Spotlight is a feature highlighting the newest in horror fiction. If you would like to connect with me or contribute to my Horror Spotlight posts, please feel free to drop me a comment or send me an email at bookdenblog(at)gmail(dot)com.

February is Women in Horror Month! This week I'm combining Women in Horror and my Horror Spotlight feature with an A - Z list featuring women who have published horror books within the last year. The first book you see listed is their latest release, but I'm also including some back titles because I really just want to share their work with you.

All photos including the author/editor photo will take you to the appropriate page on Goodreads.

February 15 | Currently Reading

I have finished zero books since you saw me last!

Books Currently Reading

I'm trying to make my way through Mark Z. Danielewski's House of Leaves, and it isn't going very well. I'm actually enjoying it - it's a creepy read, but it's slow (footnotes in the footnotes!) and most of my reading time lately hasn't been print copy friendly.

I also started reading The Giver by Lois Lowry.

What about you? Did you have more success last week than I did? Let me know what your reading in the comments or leave me a link!

Happy February! You can see all of the books I'm anxious to read in February here.

I started a new feature called Horror Spotlight so be on the look out for more of that.

I promised last week I'd post some thoughts on Lisa Mannetti's The Box Jumper. You can find that here.

Books Read Last Week

Shallow Graves by Kali Wallace

I'm really excited about Shallow Graves. It was a great read. I will definitely be writing a full review, but I'm down with the flu right now so it might not happen this week. We'll see how it goes!

Books Currently Reading

After The Fog Clears by Lee Thompson

I will read every book Lee Thompson ever puts out, but seriously, I have got to start reading book descriptions.

What about you? What are you reading this week? Be sure to let me know in the comments or leave me a link!
