In honor of the 10th anniversary expanded edition of her iconic text House of Psychotic Women, we sat down with author Kier-La Janisse (also the award-winning documentary filmmaker of Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched: A History of Folk Horror). Our connection was shaky (hence some spotty audio), but we asked Kier-La about the reception (then and now) of the book, which films readers should prioritize and why we're unlikely to see a HoPW documentary series in the future.
