Lucy Snyder has seen some $@#&, brother. She's been through the trenches; she knows the way the world comes down. You can feel it in the work. This lady is not only courageous, she's fearless. We need more like her.
If genres were wall-building nations, Lucy's stories would be forging passports, jumping fences, swimming rivers and dodging bullets.
Mesmerized and grossed out by the astonishing levels of body horror which would give prime David Cronenberg a run for his money.
Her poetry is powerful, honest, playful… this is not the first time she has walked dangerous, uncertain roads with her work and I hope it will not be the last.
Snyder infuses chills and eroticism into this gothic near-future tale of viruses, gore, and the emergence of ancient Lovecraftian gods.
Installing Linux on a Dead Badger
The one that started it all (for us, anyway); before she was a multi-Bram Stoker Award-winning author, Lucy A. Snyder took the internet by storm with a single, viral premise: can you install Linux on literally anything?
Orchid Carousals
Step onto a carousel of darkly fantastic seductions where love, lust, and the supernatural collide.
Chimeric Machines
A brilliant, Bram Stoker Award-winning tapestry of the mechanical, the monstrous, and the deeply human.
Sparks and Shadows
From the deep black of outer space to the dark magic hidden beneath modern America, find out what happens when the sparks fade and the shadows take over.
