MRA: My favorites are always changing, so I can give you a few that either have stuck with me over the years or that I've been into lately. My all-time favorite is Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House. I've also enjoyed T Kingfisher's The Twisted Ones and What Moves the Dead. With the Gothic coming back to the fore lately, Rebecca by Du Maurier is a great classic read. And I always try to mention Tananarive Due's The Good House when asked this question.

Oh no! There's too many to name! We put a lot of our favorites by women in our first book, Monster, She Wrote. I think everyone should read We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson and The Good House by Tananarive Due. Those are two of my top favorites. Andy Davidson is writing some really interesting ones right now. AND I recently read Tender is the Flesh and absolutely devoured it (no pun intended). -LK
