In this spooktacular terrifying Eerie Extra,  Such a Nightmare co-host Katherine Troyer speaks with horror scholar, writer, and editor Jolie Toomajan. We discuss her research into several less-appreciated women who wrote for Weird Tales, and what she has been learning in her recent scholarship. Together we explore the complicated relationships we have with a genre that is both transgressive and conservative, and how horror manages to be both a challenging home and a perfect vehicle to explore the horrors of women, BIPOC, and queer identities. And, of course, we talk about Jolie's 2023 edited collection of short stories Aseptic and Faintly Sadistic: An Anthology of Hysteria Fiction  (this interview is relatively spoiler free). A portion of the proceeds for this edited collection will benefit the Chicago Abortion Fund.   This interview occurred on May 25, 2023; the episode first aired on October 16, 2023.   Jolie Toomajan (she/her) is a PhD candidate, writer, editor, and all-around ghoul. Her dissertation in progress is focused on the women who wrote for Weird Tales and her work has appeared in Upon a Thrice Time, Death in the Mouth, and Black Static (among other places). She is editor of the upcoming Aseptic and Faintly Sadistic: An Anthology of Hysteria Fiction, which benefits the Chicago Abortion Fund.
