Advance Reviews<\/h2>\n

\u201cLucy A. Snyder has always been a trailblazer, and with Sister, Maiden, Monster<\/i>, she scorches the earth with the sheer audacity of her imagination.\u00a0A hideously gory, kink-fueled, feminist cosmic horror apocalypse novel that should be on the top of everyone\u2019s reading list.\u201d
\n\u2014Christopher Golden,\u00a0New York Times<\/i>\u00a0bestselling author of\u00a0Ararat<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0Road of Bones<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cThis unflinching puzzlebox of a book leads an unrelenting narrative to its devastating conclusion in beautiful, near-seamless form.\u00a0 Every corner is illuminated, and the things the light reveals are more disturbing than they seemed when still unseen. Absolutely recommend for readers of the grim, the gloriously horrific, and the cosmic.\u201d
\n\u2014Seanan McGuire, New York Times<\/i>\u00a0bestselling author<\/p>\n

\u201cOn every charged page, Snyder sets to work catching and devouring the grimmest of social ills. Sister, Maiden, Monster<\/i> is a gory treat of rich monster science and near-decadent body horror. Delicious and devious. It’s a special rare treat to see a short story you love be nurtured and grown to a full-out novel of monstrous futures, queer lust, and every kind of imaginable appendage.\u201d
\n\u2014Hailey Piper, Bram Stoker Award\u00ae-winning author of\u00a0Queen of Teeth\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cSister, Maiden, Monster<\/em> is the feminist Cronenberg I didn’t know I needed. Gleeful, gory, and unrelenting.\u201d
\n\u2014Sarah Langan, author of Good Neighbors<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cUnflinchingly gory, fast-paced and full of disasters both expected and unexpected \u2014 every twist is earned and becomes another piece in this intricate puzzle that begins as a medical mystery. I promise you have never read another cosmic horror like this. It’s impossible to look away as we witness everything it takes to end this world in full, intimate detail.\u201d
\n\u2014Nebula Award-winning author Premee Mohamed<\/p>\n

\u201cCompulsive, masterfully wrought combinations of horror\u2014body, plague, and cosmic. I was glued to Sister,<\/i>\u00a0Maiden, Monster<\/i> way past lights-out. Snyder is going to clobber unsuspecting readers with the bad-dreams-bat.\u201d
\n\u2014Laird Barron, author of Swift to Chase<\/em> and Blood Standard<\/em><\/p>\n

“Unsettling and unexpectedly timely, Sister, Maiden, Monster<\/em> is horror at its best. Lucy A. Snyder pulls out all the stops with this powerful and unflinching novel, dealing with the fallout of a pandemic and the omnipresent, creeping terror that can only come from your own body turning against you. Put this book at the top of your reading list immediately.”
\n\u2014Gwendolyn Kiste, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Rust Maidens<\/em> and Reluctant Immortals<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cA mutant hybrid of weird science and cosmic horror,\u00a0Sister,<\/i>\u00a0Maiden, Monster<\/i>\u00a0is deliciously cerebral and unflinchingly feminist. Lucy Snyder makes Gilead look like Sesame Street. Violently beautiful,\u00a0Sister, Maiden, Monster<\/i>\u00a0is a tale for our times. Resounding.\u201d
\n\u2014Lee Murray, four-time Bram Stoker Award\u00ae-winner and author of\u00a0Grotesque: Monster Stories<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cSensuous, sinister, and sinewy; a blood-and-brains splattered shotgun-blast romp through the apocalypse that will simultaneously excite and disgust readers with equal pleasure. Reading this novel is the equivalent of sticking your head into the gaping maw of a roaring elder god, their empowered shout reverberating through the universe while turning you (gleefully) into cosmic dust.\u201d
\n\u2014Philip Fracassi, author of Boys in the Valley<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cGrotesque body horror and apocalyptic pandemonium as only Snyder can deliver. Reader beware: Sister, Maiden, Monster<\/em> is not for the faint of heart!\u201d
\n\u2014Nicholas Kaufmann, bestselling author of The Hungry Earth<\/em> and The Stone Serpent<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWith Sister, Maiden, Monster,<\/i> we see that there\u2019s not only beauty in the abyss, but equal doses terror and wonder. \u201d
\n\u2014 Maurice Broaddus, author of\u00a0Breath of Oblivion<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cSnyder\u2019s Sister, Maiden, Monster is a plague dream for our uncertain times. Compelling and terrifying. Mapping the pandemic planet with words as white as bone, as black at night, as red as blood.\u201d
\n\u2014 Angela Slatter, award-winning author of The Path of Thorns<\/em><\/p>\n

“Reminiscent of early Poppy Z. Brite, razor-edged and compulsively readable, Sister, Maiden, Monster<\/em> is the pandemic kink-thriller I didn\u2019t know I needed.”
\n\u2014Usman T. Malik, award-winning author of Midnight Doorways: Fables from Pakistan<\/em><\/p>\n

“Sister, Maiden, Monster<\/i> made me shudder with revulsion and gasp out loud. I have never seen anyone weave Biblical imagery and cosmic horror together so effectively. The body horror alone is top-tier and completely stomach-churning, but it was the psychological impact and clever references that kept me turning the pages. There is no small amount of social commentary; the world at the start of the apocalypse feels remarkably like this one. This book is an absolute nightmare that I didn’t want to wake up from.”
\n\u2014 Bee Powell, Changing Hands, AZ<\/p>\n

\u201cI just finished Sister, Maiden, Monster,<\/i> and I’ve never said WTF so many times… Folks who are really into cosmic and body horror will have their socks knocked off. I had my hand over my mouth the entire time reading it, and this book will be haunting my nightmares for years to come.\u201d
\n\u2014 Candice Huber, Tubby & Coo’s, LA<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all have books that we end up sneaking out to read when we should be doing other things. I present to you Sister, Maiden, Monster, the book that kept me up at night for more than one reason. As an enthusiastic consumer of body horror, I kept thinking, \u2018Well, this must be as far as the author will go, right?\u2019 only to be proven wrong again and again. The book seems breakneck from the start but the pace only picks up and up some more until I was clinging to it in wait for how the story could possibly end.\u201d
\n\u2014 Kvothe Harris, Rediscovered Bookshop, ID<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you read this book, your therapist will be big mad at Lucy A. Snyder!\u201d
\n\u2014Dr. Rod D. Roscoe, Cognitive Psychologist<\/p>\n
