Welcome to Women in Horror Month for 2025.
For all of March, come back here to see a daily spotlight post for incredible women in the horror industry. While these posts will mostly be dedicated to indie horror authors, you will also find some mainstream authors, artists, actresses and other creatives in the horror industry! Also, be sure to check the Facebook Books of Horror group all month long for more events!
GEMMA AMOR
Meet this incredible woman of horror!
Gemma Amor is a Bram Stoker and British Fantasy Award Nominated horror author, illustrator, voice actor and podcaster, based in Bristol, in the UK. She was named one of the ‘Writers Shaping Horror’s Next Golden Age‘ by Esquire Magazine and recently featured in Ellen Datlow’s prestigious ‘Best Horror of the Year’ anthology, Vol. 15.
She is published independently, on Amazon and via traditional means (she considers herself a hybrid author for those reasons). She writes genre-fluid, emotional and character-driven horror and speculative fiction.
Gemma self-published her debut short story collection CRUEL WORKS OF NATURE in 2018, and went on to release DEAR LAURA, GRIEF IS A FALSE GOD, WHITE PINES, GIRL ON FIRE, THESE WOUNDS WE MAKE, WE ARE WOLVES and SIX ROOMS before signing her first traditional publishing deal for her novel FULL IMMERSION, published by Angry Robot books in 2022. This was followed by THE ONCE YELLOW HOUSE, CHRISTMAS AT WHEELDALE INN and THE FOLLY in 2023 (originally Polis books, shortly to be re-released by Datura). ALL WHO WANDER ARE LOST is her twelfth published book, and her fifth for Cemetery Gates Media.
Gemma is the co-creator of horror-comedy podcast Calling Darkness, starring Kate Siegel, and her stories feature many times on popular horror anthology shows The NoSleep Podcast (including a six-part adaptation of DEAR LAURA), Shadows at the Door, Creepy, The Hidden Frequencies and The Grey Rooms. She has also hosted Pseudopod a few times. She has appeared in a number of print anthologies and had made numerous podcast appearances to date.
