5/28/2023 0 Comments Lady Killers by Tori Telfer![]() ![]() The The Awl was looking for historical columns and I had just discovered this controversial figure on Wikipedia, Erzsébet Báthory, this Hungarian countess from the 1500s who maybe killed 600 girls. Q: How in the world did you get started writing about female serial killers?Ī: I just stumbled into it honestly. Once I discovered the world of history and essays, I was like “This is what I was supposed to be doing all along.” I started freelance writing and everything suddenly clicked into place. Then I tried to be a fiction writer for a while and it really wasn’t until I did a year of an MFA and found that that wasn’t for me that I got into the non-fiction world. ![]() My school had a creative writing major which was really cool. In college, I majored in fiction writing. So it was always something I liked doing. The Gazette caught up with the author earlier this week to talk about writing and of course, “Lady Killers.”Ī: I was one of those annoying kids always wanted to be a writer. The author will be visiting Northshire Bookstore in Manchester, Vermont on Friday and in Saratoga Springs on Saturday to discuss her book, the research behind it and some of the scariest and surprisingly funniest female serial killer stories. ![]()
