"Absolutely recommended for readers of the cosmic and gloriously horrific." ―Seanan McGuire, New York TImes bestselling author
Sister, Maiden, Monster is a visceral story set in the aftermath of our planet's disastrous transformation and told through the eyes of three women trying to survive the nightmare, from Bram Stoker Award-winning author Lucy A. Snyder.
A virus tears across the globe, transforming its victims in nightmarish ways. As the world collapses, dark forces pull a small group of women together.
Erin, once quiet and closeted, acquires an appetite for a woman and her brain. Why does forbidden fruit taste so good?
Savannah, a professional BDSM switch, discovers a new turn-on: committing brutal murders for her eldritch masters.
Mareva, plagued with chronic tumors, is too horrified to acknowledge her divine role in the coming apocalypse, and as her growths multiply, so too does her desperation.
Inspired by her Bram Stoker Award-winning story "Magdala Amygdala," Lucy A. Snyder delivers a cosmic tale about the planet's disastrous transformation ... and what we become after.

Snyder expands her short story "Magdala Amygdala" into a novel of cosmic horror in which the lives of three women are inextricably connected, both before and after the apocalypse. A new pandemic has erupted hot on the heels of COVID, and a small percentage of those who recover from it, including Erin, are left with an insatiable appetite for brains. Savannah is a dominatrix who begins receiving orders to kill for the eldritch gods who've set their sights on Earth, a task she finds surprisingly satisfying. And Mareva has an essential role to play in the gods' plans, thanks to a chronic health condition that causes quickly growing tumors, but she doesn't lack agency as she figures out what they have in store. 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. Recommend to readers of feminist cosmic horror such as the anthology She Walks in Shadows, edited by Silvia Moreno-Garcia and Paula R. Stiles, Ruthanna Emrys' Innsmouth Legacy novels, or the works of Caitl�n R. Kiernan.COPYRIGHT(2023) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
