Shelf Awareness
“Morton and Klinger deliver another strong installment featuring ‘classic supernatural fiction by groundbreaking female authors. The stories are as creepy as they are varied. Weird fiction fans won’t want to miss this excellent survey of the genre’s female pioneers.”

"Horrors and mysteries abound here, with well-known writers like Charlotte Perkins Gilman. If the difficulties of enforced domestic life take their toll, it might be worth reading the supernatural dread and unexplained occurrences women imagined from an earlier time of homebound life."
Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine
"It is an absolute must-own for those interested in the women who helped shape the horror genre. <i>Weird Women</i> ultimately works because of the stories and authors Klinger and Morton chose. The focusing is on tales that are not only well-written but are also genuinely creepy."
