Thank you. From the blackest corners of your mind, they call, pulling you deep into shadow, twisting your senses, keeping you from sleep.

It's time to face your darkest fears.

This is Tales to Terrify. Good evening, children of the night, and welcome.

I'm Meredith Morganstern, fiction editor here at Tales to Terrify, and this is my final episode Celebrating Women in Horror Month. I hope you learned a few things and added some titles to your

wish list. Make sure you keep celebrating women in horror all year long. I'd like to thank Drew Sebastini

for hiding in the basement while I fed the podcast beast.

Drew will be back next week, and I'll return to the shadows, mixing up potions and summoning

the most terrifying of tales for your wicked little hearts.

I'd also like to thank Andrew Gibson for using his dark powers to help me sound a little more

human and a little less like an undead but ambitious hellspon. Thanks to Seth Williams for all

his support and to Pete for being an all-around cool guy to work with. And I absolutely need to thank our devoted and

demented first readers, Kathy Palm, Jasmine Arch, Christy Nogel, Amanda Demel, Kathleen Beckett,

and Elizabeth Huffstettler, without whom I would crawl into a hole and cry.

Now, just a reminder that Tales to Terrify is committed to highlighting the incredible diversity within the horror community. Therefore, when we talk about women in horror, we mean all women.

To wrap up Women in Horror Month, let's talk about a topic that spans nearly every culture

from every corner of the globe for almost all human history.

I'm talking about the magical feminine witches.

The word witch has become a sort of all-encompassing term for women thought to have supernatural or paranormal powers.
