If Elvira is the Mistress of the Dark then Megan is our Furball of the Night! In her teens, this author fell in love with horror movies, which is funny because she was the little girl afraid of the monsters who “lived” inside the VHS boxes at the local movie rental in town.

However, soon after making “friends” with the monsters, Megan started to notice something incredible … turns out that some the biggest, bloodiest, baddest of the baddies in hockey masks and wielding chainsaws were taken down by … girls! Everyone knows Freddy Kruger … but what about Nancy Thompson the girl who kicked Freddy’s butt not once, but three times? And everyone in the horror fandom knows the name Stan Winston, famed horror movie special effect artist, but what Millicent Patrick who created one of horrors most beloved monsters, The Gill-Man? What about the gals in horror? Girls in scary movies are more than just the Final Girls … right?

Our Furball of the Night set out to discover that some slasher movies are manned by women, monster making mommas, and those other badass babes that may have been over looked, gathered them up and present them to every fan of horror in her first non-fiction book … Badass Babes of Horror!
