The History Of Female Monsters, And How One Author Started Giving Them A Voice

Theodora Goss noticed something about European horror, or at least Euro-monsters who were women: They didn’t speak. So she wrote her own short story, “The Mad Scientist’s Daughter,” “which explores the lives of female monsters such as Justine Frankenstein, Diana Hyde, and Catherine Moreau. ‘All these girl monsters have found each other and they’ve formed a club, and they live together in London,’ Goss says. ‘That’s the premise'” – and now the story is a book.
