This was a great introduction to Women writers of the horror/gothic/science-fiction genre. I knew about 10% of them and was very excited to find out more about them and to get to know more writers. I added a few reads to me TBR-list thanks to this audio book. The only downside was that the description of the lives of these women were very short and sometimes even sparse. I guess, this is the downturn of adding so many names to the book. However, it is great to have such a compilation to get back to when on the hunt for new reads. I also very liked the introduction and classification of the writers at the beginning of each chapter.
