Feminist Horror from the Ridges and Hollows of Appalachia to One's Self
Hannah Troy is a feminist horror and speculative fiction writer primarily focused on novels and short stories, though her creative reach extends into personal essays and poetry. While her work is deeply influenced by the grit and ghosts of Appalachian landscapes, she uses these settings as a lens to explore broader universal themes of gender, memory, and survival.
Beyond her own writing, Hannah is an educator and workshop facilitator dedicated to empowering new voices in literature. She is currently finishing her thesis in fiction writing at Chatham University. Her thesis, We All Disappear Here, explores the struggles for women throughout the Appalachian region, and what happens when the women fight back.
