About OF MONSTERS AND MENSES:
"Equal measures of glitter and gore... This book doesn't march to its own beat, it sachays, and the beat f*cking slaps." – Dani Parker, screenwriter of Netflix's MIDNIGHT MASS and Amazon's CARRIE
Of Monsters and Menses is a collection of short stories that are comedic, feminist, batsh*t takes on classic horror monsters as told by five women hiding in a bar bathroom from a guy who’s a total creep, or maybe something worse...
Includes an introduction by Jamie Flanagan.
Maisie Culver is an award-winning screenwriter who grew up in a house that was exorcised twice and wrote her dissertation on 1980s horror movies. In television, she’s sold pilots to Disney, Warner Bros. and The CW and has written for Peacock’s Hysteria!, SyFy’s Day of the Dead, and ABC and FOX’s Last Man Standing. In features, her debut, Hugh Jackman Stole My Husband, won ScreenCraft’s Horror competition and she’s developed with DreamWorks, Blumhouse and Catchlight Studios among others. In books, she’s only written Of Monsters and Menses, so if you don’t like it, it’s fine. She’ll just cry.
Jamie Flanagan (they/them) is a Bram Stoker Award-winning writer and actor. Writing credits include Netflix's The Haunting of Bly Manor, Midnight Mass, The Midnight Club, The Fall of the House of Usher, AMC Shudder's Creepshow, and Peacock's Hysteria!.
