Women Author on my TBR

Women of Horror Wednesday:

Dot Hutchison is the author of A Wounded Name, a young adult novel based on Shakespeare’s Hamlet, and the adult thriller The Butterfly Garden. With past experience working at a Boy Scout camp, a craft store, a bookstore, and the Renaissance Faire (as a human combat chess piece), Hutchison prides herself on remaining delightfully in tune with her inner young adult. She loves thunderstorms, mythology, history, and movies that can and should be watched on repeat. For more information on her current projects, visit www.dothutchison.com or check her out on Tumblr (www.dothutchison.tumblr.com), Twitter (@DotHutchison), or Facebook (www.facebook.com/DotHutchison).

You can find these books on Amazon and KU!

... Read moreAs someone who has delved deeply into the horror and thriller genres, discovering Dot Hutchison's work has been a refreshing experience. What stands out about Hutchison’s writing is her ability to blend classic themes with modern sensibilities. For example, her young adult novel 'A Wounded Name' intriguingly reimagines Shakespeare’s Hamlet through a contemporary lens, making the story accessible and exciting for younger audiences without sacrificing the complexity of the original. In the adult thriller sphere, 'The Butterfly Garden' is a gripping read that draws you into a dark, suspenseful narrative. Hutchison’s background—from her Boy Scout camp days to her theatrical role as a human combat chess piece at the Renaissance Faire—seems to influence her storytelling, enriching her characters with vivid, authentic details. For fans of horror with a strong female perspective, Hutchison’s work is a testament to how women authors continue to reshape the genre. Her passion for thunderstorms, mythology, and history seeps into her stories, giving them layers of depth and atmosphere that make each page compelling. Finding her books on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited makes them accessible, and having multiple social media platforms encourages fans to connect and stay updated on her projects. If you enjoy horror that is equal parts psychological and thrilling, with an undertone of mythology and rich historical references, Hutchison’s titles are invaluable additions to your TBR list.
