Editorial Reviews

08/10/2020
Full of charm and subtle humor, this collection of 15 Halloween-themed stories from Bram Stoker Award winner Snyder (Garden of Eldritch Delights) scares and delights in equal measure. In “Hazelnuts and Yummy Mummies,” a writer accidentally takes a hallucinogen, leading to phantasmagoric pandemonium. The Lovecraftian “Cosmic Cola” follows a middle schooler who discovers her new town is overrun by a cult of frog-people. Other standouts include “In the Family,” about a woman who uses online genetic testing to connect with a relative for nefarious purposes, and “Visions of the Dream Witch,” in which a young girl tries to get help for her cousin after he is injured in a monster attack. Snyder includes plenty of winking pop-culture references alongside appearances from all the classic Halloween monsters: zombies in “The Great VüDü Teen Linux Zombie Massacree,” witches and ghosts in “What Dwells Within,” and robots in “The House that Couldn’t Clean Itself.” This delightful collection will appeal both to avid horror readers and those just dipping their toes in for a seasonal celebration. (Oct.)

Publishers Weekly

“Lucy Snyder attacks the page with the raw, manic intensity of an early Sam Raimi. Snyder’s endlessly fertile, endlessly twisted imagination has never been so well-displayed.”—Seanan McGuire, John Campbell Award winner
“Lucy Snyder’s stories have a natural, folksy feel. At first they seem like the kinds of stories your aunt might tell you, or your grandmother. The characters feel quite familiar—you might recognize a neighbor, or a favorite uncle. Snyder’s impressive ear for the way real people actually talk draws you in, and sometimes you’re well into a story before you realize just how disturbing the situation she’s narrating actually is. And when the horror does come it is precisely, almost lovingly described. I’m always eager to see a Lucy Snyder story in the table of contents because I know it’s going to be one of the most original in the book.”

—Steve Rasnic Tem, author of Blood Kin
“‘Voice’ is one of those writing advice words that’s been so overused in recent years it’s almost lost all meaning…until you read a collection of work by Lucy Snyder, and then you know. Lucy’s work is smart, passionate, and deeply creepy, all told in her very distinctive style. Thank you, Lucy, for reminding us that ‘voice’ is still alive and kicking in the best genre fiction.” —Lisa Morton, multiple Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Zombie Apocalypse: Washington Deceased
