Melanie R. Anderson loved supernatural stories so much while growing up that they became her research focus. When she is not co-hosting the Know Fear podcast with Lisa and Matt, reading something from her huge to-be-read pile, or writing, or hanging out with her awesome dog Bobbie, she teaches American literature at Delta State University in Cleveland, MS. Mel and Lisa are also the co-authors of Monster, She Wrote: The Women who Pioneered Horror and Speculative Fiction.
