About Me

KIER-LA JANISSE is an author, critic, film programmer, podcaster, publisher and producer with an emphasis on genre cinema.

Video Watchdog’s Tim Lucas referred to her book House of Psychotic Women as one of the 10 “most vital” horror film books of all time, and Ian MacAllister-McDonald of the LA Review of Books called it “the next step in genre theory, as well as the most frightening and heart-rending memoir I’ve read in years.”

Where I live. It's a small island that's nearly entirely wooded. I've taken to daily walks listening to the @oldgodsofappalachia podcast and let me tell you every word and sound resonates with an extra shudder in this environment.

I just heard via @therobertdayton that Judy Henske passed away in the last week or so, which strangely didn’t come up in my feed at all. Her album with Jerry Yester, FAREWELL ALDEBARAN is one of my very favourite records of all time - I believe gifted to me by @larsnilsenzzz at one point. Her thunderous voice was so strong it could apparently shatter the windshields in the parking lots of the venues she played in, and many of them reported having to replace boards in the stage floor because she would stomp right through them while singing. These are the legends, anyway, which I choose to believe.
