Part honey, part whore: Sex Shaming and Internalized Misogyny in the House of Night [Part 1]

Before we start, I want to preface this by establishing some out-of-text information about the series. House of Night is credited to two authors, P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast, a mother-daughter team. However, in several interviews and Q&As, they have stressed that they did not actually co-author the series. Instead, P.C. Cast wrote the books and Kristin Cast helped her first as a teen voice editor, and then later as a frontline editor. [Cast and Cast 2017: 277; Cast and Cast 2018: 332; Cast and Cast 2020: 358, 363; Rought 2020; Fricot 2019] Thus, Kristin Cast is not an author or co-author on the series. However, for the sake of simplicity and abiding official citations for the series, I will be referring to the authorship of this series as though it were a joint effort. <a href="https://medium.com/@rachaellawrites/part-honey-part-whore-sex-shaming-internalized-misogyny-in-the-house-of-night-series-part-1-2b4925465a7b">Read More</a>
