Comfortable with both dominance and submission, Savannah discovers a new kink … brutally murdering for her eldritch masters.

Premee Mohamed (the Beneath the Rising series) calls Sister, Maiden, Monster: “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.”, and Gwendolyn Kiste (The Rust Maidens, Reluctant Immortals) says: “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.
