"Absolutely recommended for readers of the cosmic and gloriously
horrific." --Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author "A
hideously gory, kink-fueled, feminist cosmic horror apocalypse
novel that should be on the top of everyone's reading list."
--Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Ararat
and Road of Bones "Snyder's bold and succinct descriptions create a
visceral aura of terror and desperation. Readers will feel dread as
they're pulled along on this thrilling ride." --Publishers
Weekly
"This is a book for horror aficionados to exult in. It's seamlessly
constructed, frequently funny, joyfully queer, and unapologetically
gross, with plot twists that feel both wholly unexpected and
inevitable."--Booklist (starred review) "Unflinchingly gory,
fast-paced and full of disasters both expected and unexpected ...
you have never read another cosmic horror like this. It's
impossible to look away." --Premee Mohamed, Nebula award-winning
author of the Beneath the Rising series "Snyder... [sets] a new
standard for readers looking to try cosmic horror. Fans of this
subgenre will be delighted, awestruck, and terrified in equal
measure." --Library Journal "On every charged page, Snyder sets to
work catching and devouring the grimmest of social ills. Sister,
Maiden, Monster is a gory treat of rich monster science and
near-decadent body horror. Delicious and devious." --Hailey Piper,
Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Queen of Teeth "Synder weaves a
feminist body-, cosmic-, and science fiction-apocalyptic fever
dream. Sister, Maiden, Monster is beautiful, brutal, and
grotesque." --Cynthia Pelayo, Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of
Children of Chicago "Sister, Maiden, Monster is the feminist
Cronenberg I didn't know I needed. Gleeful, gory, and unrelenting."
--Sarah Langan, author of Good Neighbors "Timely, sharp, sexy, and
gory...this might just be Snyder's best, and that's saying a lot."
--Gabino Iglesias, author of The Devil Takes You Home "A mutant
hybrid of weird science and cosmic horror, Sister, Maiden, Monster
is deliciously cerebral and unflinchingly feminist. Violently
beautiful, this novel is a tale for our times. Resounding." --Lee
Murray, Bram Stoker Award-winner and author of Grotesque: Monster
Stories "Sensuous, sinister, and sinewy; a blood-and-brains
splattered shotgun-blast romp through the apocalypse that will
simultaneously excite and disgust readers with equal pleasure."
--Philip Fracassi, author of Boys in the Valley "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." --Angela Slatter, award-winning author of The Path
of Thorns "Compulsive, masterfully wrought combinations of horror
-body, plague, and cosmic. I was glued to Sister, Maiden, Monster
way past lights-out." --Laird Barron, author of Swift to Chase and
Blood Standard "This is such a weird but delightful read; a must
for feminist horror fans." --BuzzFeed News "[A] horror story of
cosmic proportions, a smart deconstruction of pandemic mayhem, and
a timely narrative that delves deep into what happens when we
collectively face something new, dangerous, and scary, Sister,
Maiden, Monster is a mosaic novel that shows a five-time Bram
Stoker Award-winning author at the top of her game....Synder is a
keen observer, a sharp chronicler, and a great storyteller, and all
of that is evident in this book." --Locus "Unsettling and
unexpectedly timely, Sister, Maiden, Monster is horror at its best.
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." --Gwendolyn Kiste, Bram Stoker Award-winning author
of The Rust Maidens and Reluctant Immortals "With Sister, Maiden,
Monster, we see that there's not only beauty in the abyss, but
equal doses terror and wonder." --Maurice Broaddus, author of
Breath of Oblivion "Grotesque body horror and apocalyptic
pandemonium as only Snyder can deliver. Reader beware: Sister,
Maiden, Monster is not for the faint of heart!" --Nicholas
Kaufmann, bestselling author of The Hungry Earth and The Stone
Serpent
