The Lady from the Black Lagoon: Hollywood Monsters and the Lost Legacy of Milicent Patrick by Mallory O'Meara

5.0

As a woman who eats, sleeps, and breathes horror, this book was nothing less than a sheer joy to read. It's partly a biography of a trailblazing woman whose industry achievements have been tragically buried for too long, partly a memoir of our dedicated scrappy author's journey in researching this enigmatic woman; but above all else it is 100% a love letter to the horror genre, the women who love it, and the women who create it.
