NOTES

Read by Arielle DeLisle, Katherine Littrell and Lindsey Dorcus

"Absolutely recommended for readers of the cosmic and gloriously horrific." ―Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author "Snyder's story follows three infected women; each is given a unique voice and perspective thanks to the vocal talents of Arielle DeLisle, Katherine Littrell, and Lindsey Dorcus."- Library Journal 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. A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Nightfire. LUCY A. SNYDER is the five-time Bram Stoker Award-winning and Shirley Jackson Award-nominated author of 15 books and over 100 published short stories. Her most recent titles are the collections Halloween Season and Exposed Nerves. She lives near Columbus, Ohio with a jungle of plants and an assortment of pet cats, crustaceans, fish, and turtles. "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 "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 "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 fo
