“Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned” they say. Perhaps what they really meant, though, was “Hell hath no fury like a woman." Period. While nearly all of the time, and throughout most popular media, the concept of a monster in our mind tends to be a masculine figure, there are some bad bitches throughout folklore, mythology, urban legends, classical literature, and even real-world history that make the Boogeyman and even the Devil himself look tame. But what do they reveal about the people and cultures who tell their stories in terms of fears, sexuality, taboos, and views of the feminine?

Episode 12 - Madame LaLaurie
<p>Sometimes the scariest monsters are the real ones, and this sadistic socialite of colonial New Orleans, Louisiana is as real as it gets. Stories like hers are part of why this city became known as one of America's most haunted! Also apologies if the music sounds slightly lower quality on this episode than more recent ones. Due to issues with my laptop speakers, I had to use a separate recording device, but I'm hoping to fix the issue before the next episode.</p><p><br></p><p>Music:</p><p>"I Be So Glad When the Sun Goes Down" - Ed Lewis, Alan Lomax</p><p>"Roll Jordan Roll" - Topsy Chapman, Chiwetel Ejiofor ("12 Years a Slave" soundtrack)</p>
