Horror Books By Women: Lost Media and Cursed Films

I fell down a rabbit hole recently of books about lost media and cursed films, and I am obsessed! The vibes of these books are oddly specific, but nostalgically reminiscent of the past. Of being a child on the internet and coming across mysterious videos, not knowing if they were real or hoaxes. Not knowing if just watching a tape could inflict an unbreakable curse in you. All you could do was wait and see…

From noir mystery thrillers to Ringu-esque cursed tapes to truly disturbing stories about exploitation films that should have been destroyed– if you’re itching for a book centered around the horror of digital media, look no further! Here are six horror books by women all about lost media and cursed films.
